[Regnum] The Yemeni Ansar Allah movement (Houthis) attacked the American aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower and a US destroyer in the Red Sea, announced the representative of the said association, Yahya Saria.

Dwight Eisenhower was in the north of the Red Sea at the time of the attack. Several missiles and drones were fired at the ship.
In addition to the aircraft carrier and destroyer, the Houthis fired at several ships that belong to companies that violated the ban on entry into Israeli ports.
As Regnum reported on May 31, Yahya Saria also stated that Ansar Allah attacked the aircraft carrier Dwight Eisenhower in the Red Sea with missiles. The attack was a response to US and British strikes on the positions of the movement in Yemen on the night of May 30-31.
Due to the actions of the United States and Britain in the Yemeni city of Hodeidah, according to the local health department, as of May 31, at least 16 people were killed and more than 30 were injured.
On June 1, Foreign Policy magazine wrote that Houthi attacks on shipping have led to a nearly 60% drop in traffic in the Red Sea. Against this background, Western cargo carriers began to think about using the Northern Sea Route.
