The Houthis (Ansar Allah) announced on March 16 that they launched two attacks against an aircraft carrier of the United States Navy within the last 24 hours in response to recent strikes on Yemen.
Initially, the Iran-backed group said that 18 missiles and a drone were launched at the “aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and its accompanying warships” in the Red Sea. Just a few hours later, a second attack was announced by the group.
Brigadier General Yahya Sarea, a military spokesman for the group, said in a statement that the attacks on the carrier strike group were “in retaliation to the continued American aggression against our country.”
U.S. officials told news agencies that the Houthis did fire drones and at least one missile in the first claimed attack.
Between March 15 and 16, the Houthis fired 11 drones and at least one missile within over 12 hours, the unnamed officials said, adding that ten of the drones were intercepted by U.S. Air Force fighter jets and one was intercepted by a Navy F/A-18 fighter jet.
The missile fell into the water far from the ship, and nothing came close to hitting either the carrier or the warships in its strike group, according to the officials.
Dozens of strikes hit Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen on March 15 upon orders from President Donald Trump, who said that the large-scale attack was a response to the group’s attacks on shipping.
The strikes killed 53 people and left some 98 others wounded. U.S. National Security Advisor Michael Waltz said that “multiple” leaders of the Houthis were killed. Meanwhile, the Houthi health ministry claimed women and children were among the casualties.
The U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for the operations of American forces in the Middle East, described the large-scale attack as the start of a large-scale operation targeting the Houthis across Yemen.
More strikes hit Houthi-controlled areas over the night of March 16 and 17. Yemeni media said that the strikes hit a cotton ginning factory in the western province of al-Hodeida as well as the command cabin of the Galaxy Leader, an Israel-linked ship that was seized by the group in November 2023. Other strikes hit a government complex in the northern province of Jawf.
The Houthis have already vowed to “meet escalation with escalation,” leader Abdulmalik al-Houthi calling on Yemenis to march on March 17 in defiance of the U.S.
Hebrew media reported that the Israeli Air Force was on heightened alert for potential missile and drone attacks by the Houthis.
The recent developments suggest that a fully-flagged confrontation could soon break out between the Houthis and the U.S. in Yemen.
While Secretary of State Marco Rubio ruled out the possibility of ground raids against the Houthis on March 16, the failure of the aerial campaign could push the Trump administration to approve such measures. Israel could also join the fight.

even if i dont think its smart to attack us ships i have to give them that. i havent heard of anyone besides al quaida even daring to try hitting us ships since decades.
no guts, no glory
only dead hootys
when that carrier goes down, there will be near 6,000 dead sailors/pilots. can’t wait for you to celebrate that. trumpets are crying now, because trump lied to them. soon all amerika will cry because of 1,000s of dead soldiers. trump could end up swinging from a lamp post and that would be a just reward. america’s stupidity has finally caught up with them.
shabbos goy chumpo is going to lose one of his little battleships. are the retards still saying, “at least chumpo never started a war.” this may just be a wag the dog diversion. ukraine is about to collapse, and that will be a colossal humiliation for the jewsa on the scale of vietnam. none of its ships will use the red sea or suez canal again. chumpo and nuttyyahoo have both said they would destroy
hamas and hezbollah but they are still very much in business. the same goes for the houthis. as regards ground raids, there was one a few months ago – and 70 jews and amerikunts got smoked. chumpo has bitten off more than he can chew.
well you could say he did not start it but he could easily stop it by just sailing away the huthis cant hit anything with their missiles. its just a punishment for shooting something in the general direction of isreal.
yes, he cheated those from south states who voted for him, thinking that he will make america great again(no jewish control) particulary from three spots of power, new york, wall street, washjngton and entire la, hollywood.. that is sadistic sexual maniac from washington.
i doubt that any american would see “no jewish control” as a goal. they thought he will make it great again with jewish control.
nope. only hootin tootin hootys will die. right now as i write this your people are being burried under the yemmenny rubble.
and another thing:
dont tell us how we re gonna feel. er re gonna feel fine and strong.
you are in no position to tell us how to feel.
funny right? you rotzack
lol
hussein gained the greatest fame when he was hanged. mabus, however, waits and pays to get what he wants through deception. five hundred billion to destroy one yemen.
leftists are delusional. they will all die!
just like gayzas rubble people.
you’ll see.
you know what? stupid dumb fucks like you…who will say anything for a shekel are the cause of misery in this world. you would get on your knees and earn a living before nuttyy and the like. servitude in service of evil scum like him and trump is something you can never take back, your soul is black and your vision is blurred by greed. honor is quite foreign to you and when you die, you will reap what you’ve sown and nothing can stop that.
one rocket didn’t hit idlib, one didn’t when shiites were slaughtered in syria . not a single rocket fell in idlib when the jolani al-qaeda criminals of a attacked lebanon. handsome mr. huthi will end up in a salvadoran prison lead by palestinian bukele. it’s over nice and friendly houthi going to a salvadoran prison lead by a palestinian and trump. huti is really cute.
they’ve been hitting those ships, but they keep it hidden. americans would be shocked to know this, they believe fairy tales that they are invincible. trump is worse than all the rest, he only claims to be different. such is the way of a trojan horse…but trump is a zionist horse. he lied to americans, but now his true face emerges. war is what he wants, he is as stupid as israelis that believe in their own greatness. he will destroy america and israel in the end.
what guts they dont even hit the ships
they usseless they can not even hit the ships
you are just trolling. yemenis hit jewsa ships so many times before. we all saw that from missile or drone explosion on that carrier on x.
you ve fockked your goat husband more often than that.
you fockked its wrong side, but still it counts
somali pirates are. on speedboats and died very quickly. that drone strike is so pointless that it doesn’t even get any news. otherwise, dozens of usvs would be carrying out the strike at the same time. that would already have potential.
yemmenites cant even find their peepees
imagine the alah akbars if the sink a carrier. lol
please dear god make it happen, lol
and please send a male goat too…
they will have their very own hiroshima then
they already have many and they don’t give a damn. chumpo cumps way too much.
is that the sound your goat husband makes during your mating period?
nailed it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the yemenis probably have a secret weapon, which creates tornadoes in the usa (killing 40).
no our own pilots and aircraft are busy doing that around the world under orders of some lied they were told. let’s pray that they become whistleblowers to save humanity.
this is the biggest clown statement i have ever heard
…truth…
you better save that male goat of yours or you might never ever get some again
lol
lol
lol
ask them again after tonights strikes
would be interesting how the media would hide that fact that alah akbars would be heard from supposedly pro american muslim nations as well.
they just f@rt the yalla yalla slogans and feel the stink of their god
and imagine all the yalla yallas when they flee into their caves because reckoning day is here…
idiots love to die
hi clyde !
is that you calling your male goat lover in the desert?
mabus paid 500 billion to destroy yemen.
i see dead hootys in their future
yallah yallah cave people… your rubble is ready…
lol
i doubt the usa can fight with houthis. let’s see. probably tornadoes in washington d.c. i like to see trump’s jewish face.
ask that one later tomorrow when the dust settles and after you have counted your dead relatives
all ya couldn’t defeat hamas, what the hell you are thinking?
hamas = gone
palestinjans = gone
gayza = levelled (gone)
gone, gone, gone…
nasryalla = gone
hisballa = gone
hootys = as good as gone
i-run = as good as gone
syrian isis = next on the list
oh, by the way… all of the above countries will be annexed by israel ver soon.
get ready to become the new israeli slaves you moronic idyots
wonder when they resort to suicide attacks…
their lives are so worthless, it seems…
at least them…
but not just them
lol
like your moms
yes, his mom likes black gold.
from the description it looks just like your mothers dark wide used up cont.
but if anyone would really know it’d be you. you got the most access
lol
lol
lol
no, like the goat from gayza you call your mother
yep a hit on the carrier group would be hilarious. but better yet: another pearl habour, another 9/11 would catch the c*nts arrention. a full scale attack on aipac’s headoffice is a thought. or the white house. or miami etc. or with other words, an attack on the hallow land the c*nts stole from the indigenous people!
pearl harbor and september 11 were all known in advance and allowed to happen, perhaps assisted to happen, to traumatize the people and mislead us into perpetual wars.
right now in the middle of traumatizing yemmin
lol
lol
lol
another hiroshima in yemmin…
sounds even more perfect
look, iran wants to exterminate shiism. putler is a traitor who betrayed syria and therefore karelia will become finland again.
nato is a criminal organization that works as a mercenary for the globalist eug en ic ists.
you should not share your goat with other musloms.
they dont clean it after
iran is the real puppet master at this point usa nato israel russia are all stuck fighting wars while iran supplies weapons for a fee looks like iran doing okay no need to rush when the usa is milking itself and its allies dry fighting these wars i guess funding 2 big wars was too much for usa china should consider heading into war maybe in a year from now
in yemmin it is not war.
i predict remainder finkland 52 state of burgerland
and your husband is your goat
mabus paid trump to will destroy yemen and arrest the houthis. some more evils caused by religious wars.
america got no justification to attack poor yemen they only defending the poor palestinians who have been butchered by the zionists.
the sad day for humanity when the “freedom of navigation” became higher priority than stopping the genocide, or maga being just miga
the american jewish zionists wasted $8 trillion in wars since 2001. and what did they achieve? they are hated even more now. that’s gods chosen morons for you
go, houthis, go! smoke those suckers! chumpo will soon be whining with self pity and rweeting that the houthis can’t be intimidated. the red sea is a big shooting gallery and chumpo’s amerikunts and the zios are the ducks!
go houthis!!!!
harry truman turn to submarine. inshallah.
turn your bosnian goat
its time for iranians , kateb hizbollah in irak and hizbollah in lebanon to fight and to support the brothers in yemen . start to get rid of the us terrorists in irak and syria
yeah, but your katib is a male goat. so…
totally nice work houthis!
yes, your burning and dying by american bombs is a message to all other mushloms
that’s the problem with all arab jihadist movements – except the ones that are the most extrem fashistoid ones: all they do is making noise. the only things they have ever hit among nato and isreal assets were some antenna posts and civilian objects. and even for the latter, their ammo to victim ratio is even more abysmal than that of the russian and ukrainian armies (for the latter: about 1000 kg of explosives per victim, for the former: about 100’000 kg of explosives per victim).
time to invent the silent bombs.
you moron
if israel had not broken the gaza ceasefire, yemen would have not intervened . the us aircraft carrier is only protecting the israeli starvation of palestinians in gaza . in 2015 obama used saudia arabia as a proxy to attack yemen, trump extended it . then the houthies found a way to bomb saudi oil production and it somehow ended for awhile . bankers love oil .
easy solution:
kill all mushloms in yemmin and gayza and i-run and shyria and afganistain
oh and pakistan too and turkey and every countr that ends with the letters “stan”
problem solved
the rate of the killings must be the same as the birth rate. we should be finished in a few years.
lots of parking space will be available for tourism and shopping.
