An old video of a crew fighting flames on a ship has been shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower after 'missiles' fired by Yemen's Huthi rebels struck the aircraft carrier in the Red Sea in May 2024. Washington has denied that any of its ships were damaged by the Huthis.
An old video of a crew fighting flames on a ship has been shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower after"missiles" fired by Yemen's Huthi rebels struck the aircraft carrier in the Red Sea in May 2024. Washington has denied that any of its ships were damaged by the Huthis. The footage dates back to July 2020, when a blaze broke out on a US Navy ship moored at a base in California.
The Iran-backed Huthis, who control much of Yemen, have carried out scores of drone and missile attacks on vessels in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden since November, citing solidarity with Palestinians over the Israel-Hamas war. The toll announced by the Huthis, which AFP could not independently verify, would make the strikes some of the deadliest since the US and Britain launched their campaign in January against disruption of the vital trade route.
"On the morning of July 12, a fire was called away aboard the ship while it was moored pier side at Naval Base San Diego. Base and shipboard firefighters responded to the fire.
