De aanval zou een reactie zijn op een US/UK bombardement op Houthi munitiedepots en drone lanceerlocaties. Ze worden al gebombardeerd.

Verdict: Misleading

The Houthis did not provide evidence for their claim. Defense officials have denied that the Eisenhower was attacked.

Fact Check:

A Houthi rebel spokesman claimed in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter, that the group launched a missile attack against the USS Eisenhower in response to recent airstrikes from the U.S. and British military in Hodeida.

The statement reads in part, “the Yemeni Armed Forces carried out a joint military operation targeting the American aircraft carrier ‘Eisenhower’ in the Red Sea. The operation was carried out with a number of winged and ballistic missiles, the hit was Accurate and direct, thanks to Allah.”

However, there is no evidence that this attack took place or that the Eisenhower sustained any damage. Neither the video statement or the graphics provided evidence that the aircraft carrier was struck.
