SANAA (AFP) – The United States (US) military dismissed claims by Yemen’s Houthis that they had attacked an American aircraft carrier, saying Washington would not engage in the rebels’ “disinformation campaign”.
The denial from US Central Command (CENTCOM) came after the Houthis said they had carried out the attack earlier on Sunday and warned of “consequences” for any retaliation during the Gaza ceasefire.
“The Yemeni Armed Forces warn the enemy forces in the Red Sea of the consequences of any aggression against our country during the ceasefire period in Gaza,” the rebels said in a statement.
“They will confront any aggression with specific military operations against those forces without a ceiling or red lines.”
