SANAA: The United States military on Sunday dismissed claims by Yemen´s Huthis that they had attacked an American aircraft carrier, saying Washington would not engage in the Iran-backed rebels´ “disinformation campaign.”

“The Yemeni Armed Forces warn the enemy forces in the Red Sea of the consequences of any aggression against our country during the ceasefire period in Gaza,” the rebels said in a statement. “They will confront any aggression with specific military operations against those forces without a ceiling or red lines.”

The Huthis, who have attacked shipping in the Red Sea throughout the war in Gaza, said they targeted the USS Harry S. Truman and other “warships” with drones and cruise missiles.
