Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The American nuclear aircraft carrier USS Harry Truman has left the Red Sea, where it was stationed to carry out airstrikes on military facilities of the Yemeni Houthis. This was reported by the Indian publication Oneindia.

According to the online ship tracking service Marine Traffic, the aircraft carrier, which had been in the region since last fall, had passed through the Suez Canal into the Mediterranean Sea the day before.

The publication also clarified that a destroyer from an aircraft carrier strike group and a missile cruiser followed along with it.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, the US Navy aircraft carrier Harry Truman has set off for the Middle East. It is specified that the ship is heading to the Red Sea against the backdrop of the return from the region of the Dwight Eisenhower, which has been in the Middle East since 2023.

Harry Truman will be accompanied by two destroyers and a guided missile cruiser. An Italian Navy frigate is also expected to join the strike group.

Earlier it became known that the United States and Britain attacked the port of Ras Isa, which is under the control of the Houthis. At least two strikes were reported on the territory of the port of Ras Isa in the As-Salif district of the Houthi-controlled Yemeni province of Hodeidah by the forces of the United States and Great Britain.

Al Masirah TV reported that the US and British air forces carried out four airstrikes each on October 4 on the Yemeni capital Sanaa and the city of Hodeida, which are controlled by the Houthis. There were no reports of casualties or deaths.

#6  The US Navy took their shot. Now they’re giving the IDF room to work. Hopefully they’re going to concentrate on basic drills after clearing away the Biden-Harris administration’s DEI superstructure.
