Yemen's Houthi terror organization claimed that they had attacked the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier as well as several American warships in the Red Sea in a Sunday statement.
Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said that they would not hesitate to continue to strike US assets in the region and that its naval blockade on Israel would continue.
"If they continue their aggression, we will continue the escalation," Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi added in a televised speech.
These announcements come in response to the US conducting a series of airstrikes on Houthi targets in Yemen. The Houthis said that dozens were injured in the strikes.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres called for "utmost restraint and a cessation of all military activities" in Yemen, his spokesperson said.
