The US Navy spokesman, Timothy Hawkins, revealed yesterday that his forces suffered more than a billion dollars in losses in less than a year in countering Yemeni attacks.

Follow-ups – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:

A US Navy carrier strike group and other warships that spent months in confrontations against Sana’a forces in the Red Sea fired $1.16 billion, Hawkins told “Business Insider.”

According to the site, this figure has not been previously announced, confirming that it clearly reveals the high financial cost of America’s intervention in the Red Sea to protect the Israeli occupation entity.

In the same context, the Pentagon spokesman revealed that a variety of weapons have been employed by the carrier strike group, including aircraft as well as warships and surface-to-air missiles, land-attack missiles, air-to-air missiles, and air-to-surface weapons.

The report revealed that US warships and aircraft associated with the strike carrier group are continuously and intensely subjected to attacks by missiles and drones belonging to the Yemeni armed forces, while US forces have failed to reduce them despite airstrikes on sites in Yemen.

The spokesman confirmed that the cost of ammunition spent by US warships between October 2023 and July 2024 does not cover the deployment costs of the “Roosevelt” aircraft carrier alone, which was also subjected to attacks, causing severe damage according to international media.

The Yemeni armed forces continue their military operations against ships associated with the occupation entity, as well as American warships and military vessels in the Red and Arabian Seas and as far as the Mediterranean, as part of operations to support Palestinian resistance and stand in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
