Yemen’s Houthi militia claimed on Wednesday to have carried out a fourth attack in 72 hours on an American fleet in the Red Sea, as the US military said its campaign against the Iran-backed armed group was ongoing.

The Houthis’ military spokesperson said cruise missiles and drones targeted the USS Harry S. Truman carrier group in an attack that was “the fourth within 72 hours.”

An hour earlier, the US Central Command confirmed its “continuous operations against Iran-backed Houthi terrorists.”

The United States launched heavy strikes against the Tehran-sponsored group beginning Saturday, prompting mass protests in the war-torn country and retaliatory efforts that a US general said were widely missing their mark.
