American military forces successfully eliminate three Houthi naval vessels.
Yemen's Huthi rebels persistently bomb civilian and military installations in the Red Sea, allegedly threatening a US warship. Yet, the US strongly denies this, asserting the demolition of several vessels belonging to the Huthi group in the last 24 hours.
In a statement by the US Central Command (CENTCOM), three unoccupied sea vessels backed by Iran and controlled by the Huthis met their end in the Red Sea. Additionally, the Huthis launched three anti-ship ballistic missiles into the Gulf of Aden, but no injuries or immense damage were reported on US, coalition, or commercial vessels, CENTCOM mentioned.
Disputing the latest Huthi force's allegations of a successful attack on the aircraft carrier Dwight D. Eisenhower, CENTCOM deemed the claims as completely unfounded.
Furthermore, the Huthis claimed responsibility for attacks on Israeli targets. They declared, in collaboration with the Iraqi militant group "Islamic Resistance," the assault of four ships at the Haifa port, an Israeli city.
A broadcast statement from Huthi spokesman Yahya Saree revealed the drone attack on two cement tankers and two merchant vessels at the Haifa port, stating that the ships belonged to companies defying the entry ban into the Haifa ports of occupied Palestine.
The Huthis also proudly declared the assault of the cargo ship "Shorthorn Express" in the Mediterranean Sea with drones, asserting that the attacks were precise and direct. However, there was no swift reaction from the Israeli military, nor any independent verification of the attacks.

The US Central Command (CENTCOM) revealed that the Houthi-controlled Iranian vessels in the Red Sea were destroyed by American military forces. The Huthis, based in Yemen, have been accused of attacking US interests, including the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, but their claims of causing significant damage to US or coalition vessels have been dismissed. Despite Huthi claims of attacking Israeli targets, there has been no reported response from the Israeli military.
