Houthis claim to shoot down US F-18 and target USS Truman in Red Sea attacks

Houthi rebels have claimed they shot down a U.S. F-18 fighter jet and targeted the USS Harry Truman with missiles and drones in the Red Sea. The U.S. warship reportedly retreated to a previous position following the attacks. This marks a significant escalation in tensions, as the Houthis warned the U.S. and Israel against aggression towards Yemen and Palestine. The situation highlights ongoing conflicts in the region. Previously, U.S. military operations in the area had not faced such direct attacks from the Houthis. The recent developments indicate a shift in the dynamics of military engagement in the Red Sea.
