Houthis claim attack on US carrier in Red Sea, another vessel in Arabian Sea

The Yemeni Houthi group said on Saturday that its forces had attacked US aircraft carrier the Dwight D Eisenhower in the Red Sea and the Transworld Navigator ship in the Arabian Sea. It did not say when the attacks took place, Reuters reported.

A Houthi statement said the Transworld Navigator took a direct hit from a missile.

The operation against the Eisenhower had achieved its objectives successfully, it said, without elaborating.
