Houthis reportedly attacked US carrier Eisenhower in Red Sea as retaliation for recent Anglo-American strikes.
Improved tension between Houthi rebels, the US and UK due to alleged attacks and escalation of military strikes in Yemen.
The Yemen war involves complicated historical context, religious division and Houthis' opposition to Israel.
Houthi rebels in Yemen reportedly launched missile attacks at the US aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower in the Red Sea. As of the time of writing, the US DoD has not confirmed these claims by the Houthis. Carriers never travel alone (and especially in a conflict zone) and are heavily protected by the rest of the task force. The claimed strike comes as retaliation for renewed Anglo-American strikes on Houthi targets within Yemen. The British stated the strikes were carried out by Typhoon fighter jets, while the Americans likely used F/A-18 jets.
