The US Navy released impressive video showing troops blasting several guided missiles at Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen from a warship in the Red Sea on New Year’s Eve.
The long-range Tomahawk Land Attack Missiles were launched from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and flames, according to videos shared by Central Command Friday on X.
The Dec. 31 attack targeted Houthi command and control centers and weapon production and storage facilities that fall within US Central Command’s area of responsibility, which spans Northeast Africa, the Middle East and Central and South Asia, the command said in its post.
The operation was part of a series of precision strikes launched by the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group on Dec. 30 and 31 in response to the Iranian proxy firing ballistic missiles at Israel in recent weeks.
The strike group, which consists of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, several aviation squadrons and missile cruisers and destroyers, was deployed in September “to ensure regional stability and security,” according to an Instagram post in December.
It followed the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group’s nine-month mission in Yemen, which wrapped up in July.
The Houthis have been supporting Hamas terrorists since their Oct. 7 onslaught on Israel, targeting military and merchant vessels, including US Navy warships, in the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
