Yemen's Houthi rebels claim to have attacked a U.S. Navy mobile base at sea on Monday, targeting the USS Lewis B. Puller in the Gulf of Aden. However, this assertion has been vehemently denied by an American defense official. Houthis' military spokesperson Brig. Gen. Yahya Saree stated that they had fired a missile at the floating landing base, which had previously been stationed in the Arabian Sea to counter Houthi attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
In response to the alleged attack, Saree declared that Houthi assaults would persist until the 'aggression is stopped' and the 'siege is lifted on the people of Palestine in the Gaza Strip.' It is worth noting that the Houthi group often launches missiles that fail to reach their intended targets, often crashing onto land or at sea.
