Houthis Claim Attack on US Carrier After Deadly US-UK Strikes in Yemen

The US Navy's Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group will remain in the Red Sea to counter ongoing Houthi missile and drone attacks on shipping lanes. The deployment, initially extended by US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, underscores the continued need for a US naval presence in the region amid persistent threats from the Iran-backed rebels. The strike group has expended significant munitions and incurred high costs in its efforts to maintain maritime security.
