The attack comes despite a US-Houthi truce, with Houthis vowing continued strikes until Israel ends its Gaza offensive. No injuries or damage were reported.

The Yemeni Armed Forces (YAF) launched major attacks on Israeli and U.S. targets, including the USS Truman and Israel’s Ramon Airport, in retaliation for the war in Gaza. This comes after Donald Trump claimed the Houthis “begged” him not to strike. The YAF's bold military move, involving drones and ballistic missiles, defies that narrative. An American F-18 crashed during the operation, intensifying the crisis. YAF has vowed further strikes if U.S. aggression resumes. Yemen warns Israel that air and maritime movements will remain under fire until the Gaza siege ends.
