On January 29, the Houthis launched a missile attack on the US Navy ship USS Lewis b. Puller in the Gulf of Aden. The attack was reported by the representative of the Ansar Allah movement on the air of the Houthi-owned Al Massarah TV channel.
Lewis B. Puller is a 233-meter expeditionary supply ship of the US Navy. This is the first ship rebuilt for this purpose from an Alaska-class tanker. It has a flight deck with landing pads for four CH-53 heavy helicopters. The floating base is also capable of receiving CV-22 Osprey aircraft, transporting more than 200 Marines with equipment, refueling US Navy ships with fuel and supplying them with other necessary equipment. It is one of the newest warships in the US fleet. It entered in service on August 17, 2017.
According to Ansar Allag, the attack on Lewis B. Puller was a response to the US-British aggression against Yemen. washington is paying with the navy for their strikes on the Yemeni territory.
Earlier, the United States and Great Britain, with the support of several other countries, launched a military operation in the Red Sea, which is allegedly aimed ”to ensure the safety of civilian navigation”. As part of this operation, the armed forces of the United States and Great Britain are launching missile strikes against military and civilian infrastructure facilities in the Houthi-controlled territories of Yemen.
However, the strikes brought no results. The Houthis have not been deprived of the means to continue attacks. In response, the Houthis only intensified their actions against foreign warships and civilian vessels linked to the West and Israel. Initially, missiles targeted only Israeli ships in support to the struggle of Palestinian forces in the Gaza Strip; but after the start of the US-led operation in the Red Sea, ships and vessels of other states began to fall under the attacks.
At the same time, the Houthis guaranteed secured navigation across the Red Sea for ships and vessels of states that do not take a hostile position towards Yemen. These included, in particular, China and the Russian Federation.
do not let them sleep even one night. that is what imperialists deserve. well done ansar allah, heroes
biden should send the houthies some food and medals then go hide in shame.
any food would be poisoned (or otherwise contaminated) and the medals, like petal mines, would explode on contact.
yoosa is a busted flush, and currently only a couple of idiotic comments or escalatory actions away from major internal conflict.
yemen can see murika’s many weakness, iri can too, iran isn’t sure and rus still thinks the un works for everyone.
us marine’s frequently eat crayons and drink glue.
on that matter, navy to allow those without high school diploma or ged to enlist.
yes, but they are even worse, gang members join the us army to get citizenship and leave after that – they don’t give a fuk about the us lmfao.

presstv: the islamic resistance in iraq announced a drone attack on sunday deep inside the israeli-occupied palestinian territories.
“what makes it a major development is the location of the target. the israeli zevulun naval facility near haifa port was struck as part of a “new phase” of operations against the illegal israeli occupation of palestine as well as the illegal american occupation of iraq and syria.”

lolll, one of the newest ships? it looks old and severly rusted
looks like you could film a horror on it, a ship full of zombie crew.
no report of any damage? attacking the ship is one thing, hitting it is another. i’m guessing the houthis are relying on the deterrent value to deter the zionist shipping corporations, and their genocide sympathisers.
would have tought they would be building submarine drones and loitering sea mines.
when ships are getting attacked the “coalition” joins. when 25.000 civilians are barbaric slaughtered in gaza and palestine nothing happens. don’t you think this is little strange?
such a corrupt ugly world. something tells me us is preparing something bigger to attack iran…
yes, its a corrupt ugly world, thats for sure.
ansarallah ran chesty puller off, lolol
run their missle defenses out of ammo and swarm them with the real biscuts. target every support ship you can, deny the reloads, make them swim off to lick their wounds, even if its just superficial damage, it keeps the crew on edge and constantly at risk of being hit with the heavy stuff… so far, its working houthis are owning it atm.
