The Houthi group in Yemen claimed to have thwarted two planned US aerial attacks on Yemen by targeting the US warships in the Red Sea today, as Washington escalated its air strikes on the poverty-stricken country.

Military spokesman Yahya Saree said Houthi forces have “targeted the hostile US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman and its affiliated warships in the Red Sea, using several cruise missiles and drones.

“We thwarted two aerial attacks that the enemy was preparing to launch against our country in a confrontation that was the second within the past 24 hours and lasted for several hours.”

He stressed that the group “will not abandon its moral, religious, and humanitarian duties toward the oppressed Palestinian people, no matter the consequences.”

That kind of sounds like they had inside intelligence—did the Defense Department accidentally add them to a planning thread?

They’re probably still using unsecured comms, and are paying attention now.

They signed up on Signal and got an invitation from Mike Waltz on the same day.
