The Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen announced Sunday that it targeted a US supply ship in the Red Sea, Anadolu reports.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said the group targeted the ship attached to the US aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman with a ballistic missile.

He said the attack lasted several hours, and it prevented the US from carrying out offensive actions against Yemen.
