Air navigation tracking sites have revealed the recent movements of a supply aircraft associated with the U.S. aircraft carrier “Eisenhower,” which was announced to have been targeted twice in the Red Sea earlier this June.
According to the latest supply transport missions conducted by the “C2 Greyhound” aircraft to the “Eisenhower,” it appears that the latter is now alongside Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, having distanced itself approximately 1000 kilometers from Yemeni territorial waters since being targeted.
The Sana’a government forces announced on June 1st that they carried out six military operations, one of which targeted the U.S. aircraft carrier “Eisenhower” for the second time within 24 hours.
In a televised speech last Thursday, the leader of the Ansar Allah (Houthis) movement, Abdul-Malik al-Houthi, stated that: “The aircraft carrier Eisenhower fled to the vicinity of Jeddah after being targeted for fear of being struck again.”
Since the end of last year, the Sana’a government forces have announced strikes on Israeli targets in the occupied Palestinian territories and the targeting of Israeli and related ships in the Red and Arabian Seas before declaring the extension of their operations to parts of the Indian Ocean. Recently, they announced the beginning of the fourth phase of escalation against ships “up to the Mediterranean” in support of Palestinians in Gaza. They assert that their operations against “Israel” will continue, demanding “an end to the aggression and lifting of the siege on Gaza” to halt their military operations “in support of Gaza.”
In response, the U.S. and the U.K. launched airstrikes on Yemen, leading the Sana’a government forces to declare that their operations would include targeting U.S. and British commercial and military ships in response to what they termed the “American-British aggression.”
On February 19, 2024, the European Union announced the launch of a military operation named “Aspis,” led by Italy in the Red Sea, while the United States announced the launch of an operation named “Guardian of Prosperity,” aimed at countering the attacks launched by the Sana’a government forces against “Israel.”
