On April 6, local time, Yemen's Houthi armed forces issued a statement saying that the armed forces carried out a war campaign against enemy warships in the northern part of the Red Sea, using multiple cruise missiles and drones, targeting targets including multiple warships led by the USS Truman aircraft carrier. In addition, the Houthi forces also cracked down on a US military supply ship that provided supplies to the USS Truman aircraft carrier.

At present, even though the US military dispatched two aircraft carrier combat groups + B-2 stealth bombers, it still failed to suppress the Houthi armed forces.

Since March 15, the United States has launched several large-scale air strikes on the Houthi forces. According to the New York Times on April 4, although Trump claimed that military operations "suffered a heavy blow" to the Houthi armed forces, "the information disclosed by the Pentagon and military officials to Congress and allies in private are not the case." According to the report, Pentagon officials admitted in closed-door briefings in recent days that military operations in the past few weeks have "had only limited success" in destroying the Houthi armed forces' massive arsenal of missiles, drones and launch devices.

The report quoted Congressional and military officials who declined to be named as saying that although the real attack was much larger than the one disclosed by the Ministry of Defense, the Houthi "has strengthened many bunkers and other target locations, thwarting the U.S. ability to prevent the armed forces from launching missile attacks on Red Sea merchant ships."

According to CNN, over the past few weeks, the United States has launched several large-scale air strikes on the Houthi armed forces in Yemen, attacking multiple targets including oil refineries, airports and missile launch sites, but "the Houthi armed forces were not intimidated by the US air strikes." The report quoted a Houthi spokesman as saying, "Does of air strikes launched by (the United States) on Yemen will not prevent the Houthi from performing its duties."

In a fight back, Houthi forces launched drone and missile attacks on the USS Harry Truman in the Red Sea several times in the past few weeks. Al Jazeera reported on April 5 that Houthi leader Abdullah Malik Houthi said through a video speech on the same day, "The strike against US Navy ships continues to be efficiently advanced."

Meanwhile, Houthi forces have further threatened to expand the scope of the attack to the UAE. Saudi officials said that Saudi Arabia's air defense system has been on high alert in recent weeks - Houthi forces have used drones and cruise missiles to attack Saudi Arabia's crude oil and refining facilities.

CNN said that in just three weeks, the Pentagon used $200 million worth of ammunition, and also invested huge operational and personnel costs, including the deployment of a second aircraft carrier combat group to the Central and Eastern Conference, the call to B-2 stealth bombers, and more fighters, Patriot missiles and THAAD air defense systems. Several Defense Ministry officials revealed that the total cost of the military operation has reached $1 billion.

Yemen expert Elizabeth Kendall questioned the final results of the U.S. military operation in an interview with CNN. "In the past decade, the Houthi forces have been bombed tens of thousands of times, but they are still not intimidated. This result will lead many people to think that the US air strikes have become a largely 'a show'."
