US aircraft carrier “Eisenhower” leaves Red Sea

SANAA, June 22 (YPA) – The US nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, which was previously targeted by the Yemeni armed forces, would leave the Red Sea.

NBC News reported, quoting a statement from the US Army: “The command ordered the aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower, which led US operations against Yemen, to return home.”

The American aircraft carrier has been active near the coast of Yemen for about eight months, and the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier “Theodore Roosevelt, which left San Diego, will replace.

At the end of last May, the Yemeni armed forces announced that they had struck the Eisenhower” in the Red Sea in response to the American-British attacks on Yemen.

Tension has escalated in the Red and Arab Sea and the Gulf of Aden, since the Yemeni armed forces began launching attacks last November on the Israeli occupation-linked ships or heading to the ports of occupied Palestine, in response to the Israeli war against the Gaza Strip.
