[Regnum] The strike on the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman, which was in the Red Sea, was carried out by Yemeni Houthis from the Ansar Allah movement. This was reported on January 11 by the representative of the armed forces formed by the Houthis, Yahya Saria, his statement was broadcast by the Al Masirah TV channel.
They shoot off as claimed, but only rarely do their missiles/drones actually hit anything. That’s because the choice of whether to hit is Allah’s, and he clearly prefers the targets.
"Yemeni missile forces and unmanned systems forces carried out a joint military operation within 24 hours, attacking the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman and several warships in the northern part of the Red Sea using cruise missiles and drones," Saria said.

A representative of the movement indicated that after the Houthi attack, the aircraft carrier was forced to redeploy to the “extreme northern part of the Red Sea.”

Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that on January 6, Yemeni Houthis announced an attack on the American aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea. As the movement's representative Yahya Saria specified, the ship was attacked by drones and missiles. In addition, according to Saria, on the same evening, the Houthis carried out two more operations to strike using drones at a military facility in the Israeli port city of Jaffa, as well as at a "vital Israeli facility" in Ashkelon.

A day earlier, Saria said 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 said the strike was in support of the Gaza Strip, adding 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.
