The US aircraft carrier retreated from its area of deployment in the Red Sea on Monday, just a day after the Yemeni forces announced targeting it.

Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

Satellite images showed the “USS Harry S. Truman” carrier moving about 800 nautical miles away from Yemen’s territorial waters and currently positioned off the Saudi port of Jeddah.

Images from flight tracking sites show a US cargo plane arriving from the US Fifth Fleet base in Bahrain and landing on the “Truman” carrier on the outskirts of the Red Sea.

The “Truman” had earlier penetrated about 300 kilometers into the Red Sea after entering through the Suez Canal a few days ago.

Navigational tracking websites have shown that the carrier was previously stationed off the Sudanese coast.

Mohammed Al-Houthi, a member of the Political Office, stated that the aircraft carrier had earlier stopped its engines and systems near Sudan on Sunday.

These developments come after Yemen announced targeting the carrier.

The official spokesman for the Yemeni forces, Brigadier General Yahya Saree, confirmed that the carrier was targeted with a number of winged missiles and drones.

During the engagement, a US F/A-18 Hornet fighter jet, which the American forces had dedicated to intercepting Yemeni attacks on battleships in case the air defenses failed, was shot down.

The transfer of the “Truman” to the port of Jeddah brought to mind the “Eisenhower,” which was also moved to the same port before its withdrawal was announced.

The “Truman” will be the fourth aircraft carrier withdrawn from the Gulf due to the repeated Yemeni attacks on them.

The US Department of Defense had previously announced the withdrawn of the “Eisenhower,” which was deployed in the Red Sea at the start of the American aggression, in an attempt to contain the Yemeni operations in November of last year, followed by the withdrawn of the “Roosevelt,” whose fate has not been known since its replacement with the “Lincoln,” which was also withdrawn after a Yemeni attack on its location in the Arabian Sea.
