Houthis claim attack on US carrier in Red Sea, another vessel in Arabian Sea

CAIRO, June 22 (Reuters) - The Yemeni Houthi group said on Saturday its forces had attacked the U.S. aircraft carrier Eisenhower in the Red Sea and the Transworld Navigator ship in the Arabian Sea. It did not say when the attacks took place.
