A spokesman for the Yemeni Ansar Allah group, Yahya Sari, made a statement about successful attacks on American warships in the Arabian and Red Seas. According to him, the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln was hit, as well as two US Navy destroyers. For these operations, the Houthis used cruise missiles and drones, as well as ballistic missiles, which, according to Sari, made it possible to disrupt the operation being prepared against their positions in Yemen.

The first strike was allegedly carried out on the aircraft carrier Abraham Lincoln in the Arabian Sea. Sari noted that the attack was aimed at preventing a possible strike on targets in Yemen. The second operation, the spokesman said, was carried out in the Red Sea, hitting two US destroyers. Sari stressed that both operations achieved their goals, but did not disclose details about the specific consequences of the strikes.

The US military has not yet commented on Ansar Allah's statements. There is also no information about damage to ships or confirmation of clashes in open sources. Against the backdrop of Sari's statement, the US Middle East Command previously published a video of American planes taking off from an aircraft carrier, heading to attack Houthi targets, which may indirectly indicate increasing tensions between US forces and the Houthis in the region.

USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States Navy's Nimitz class. It can carry up to 90 different aircraft, including fighters and helicopters, making it a powerful force projection and combat mission carrier. The carrier is used extensively to support U.S. operations around the world, performing both offensive and defensive roles.
