Yemen's Houthi group says attacking US warship in Gulf of Aden

SANAA - Yemen's Houthi group on Monday said they have launched a missile attack on a US military ship in the Gulf of Aden.

On Sunday evening, "We launched a naval missile targeting 'USS Lewis B Puller,' a ship belonging to the American Navy when it was sailing in the Gulf of Aden," Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sarea said in a statement.

"One of the ship's missions is to provide logistical support to the American forces involved in aggression against our country," he added.
