SANAA - Yemen's Houthi group said early Sunday that it had launched a fresh attack on the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier and its supply ship in the northern Red Sea over the past 24 hours.

In a statement aired by Houthi-run al-Masirah TV, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Sarea said the aircraft carrier was targeted with "cruise missiles and drones," while the supply ship was hit with a "ballistic missile."

The US Navy has yet to comment on the claim.
