The Yemeni Armed Forces have announced a series of military operations targeting the US aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in the Arabian Sea and Israeli military sites in the occupied territories of Yaffa and Asqalan, Press TV reported.
The operations carried out with drones were carried out as a response to American aggression against Yemen and the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza Strip.
In a statement, spokesman Yahya Saree said their UAV force executed a military operation targeting the USS Carl Vinson and its accompanying warships in the Arabian Sea using multiple drones.
It said this operation followed earlier attacks on the USS Harry S. Truman in the Red Sea, which forced the carrier to retreat toward the Suez Canal.
According to the statement, the prior operation also resulted in the downing of an F-18 fighter jet, the prevention of an enemy air attack on Yemen.
Also, the Yemeni Army reported a dual operation targeting Israeli military sites.
Saree said they deployed three Yaffa drones to strike “vital military targets" in the Yaffa area and one Yaffa drone to hit another significant target in Asqalan.
The Yemeni Armed Forces’ operations come amid heightened tensions in the region. Since mid-March 2025, the US has intensified airstrikes on Yemen, claiming it seeks to deter the country’s attacks on Red Sea shipping.
