[Regnum] Rebels from the Shiite movement Ansar Allah (Houthis) attacked the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea with drones and missiles. This statement was made on January 6 by the representative of the Yemeni movement, Yahya Saria.

"The operation, carried out using two cruise missiles and four drones, disrupted the United States' preparations for a large-scale air strike on Yemen," Al Masirah TV quoted the movement's representative as saying.

In addition, the Houthis carried out two more drone strikes later in the evening, targeting a military facility in the Israeli port city of Jaffa and a “vital Israeli facility” in Ashkelon, Yahya Sari said. He added that the drones successfully reached their targets.
Betcha none of the weapons hit their targets this time, dear Reader, just like almost all Houthi attacks previously.
As reported by Regnum, the day before, Saria said that the Houthis had launched a rocket attack on the Orot Rabin power plant near the northern Israeli city of Haifa. The movement's military spokesman clarified that the strike was carried out in support of the Gaza Strip. He also added that the Houthis' military capabilities were "constantly evolving."

On January 3, the Ansar Allah movement also reported a missile strike on a power plant. The attack targeted a facility east of the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. In addition, the Houthis reported using drones to strike a "military target" located in the said settlement.

On January 1, the Ansar Allah movement reported the destruction of a US-made MQ-9 Reaper drone over Yemen. According to Yahya Sariyya, the drone was in the airspace of Marib province.

[IsraelTimes] The Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
