Heroic defense of Palestine and their own country by Yemen's Houthis

🇺🇸🇾🇪 Yemen's Houthis say they attacked the US aircraft carrier Harry S. Truman

It is detailed that the operation was carried out with eight cruise missiles and 17 drones.

"The Armed Forces managed to thwart an American-British attack against our country in which the USS Harry Truman aircraft carrier and several of its destroyers were involved," the statement reads.

It is detailed that the operation was carried out with eight cruise missiles and 17 drones. The Houthis claim to have shot down an F-18 aircraft, while pointing out that most of the American warplanes left Yemeni airspace for international waters in the Red Sea and the aircraft carrier also withdrew.

"An enemy attack on Yemeni territory" failed, the Houthis stressed. "The Yemeni Armed Forces warn the Israeli and American enemy against aggression against Yemen and that the Yemeni Armed Forces will make use of their full right to defend Yemen and will continue to support the Palestinian people until the aggression against Gaza ceases and the siege is lifted," they concluded.

Heroica defensa de Palestina y su propio país por parte de los Hutíes de Yemen

🇺🇸🇾🇪 Hutíes de Yemen dicen haber atacado el portaviones de EE.UU. Harry S. Truman

Se detalla que la operación se llevó a cabo con ocho misiles de crucero y 17 drones.

"Las Fuerzas Armadas lograron frustrar un ataque estadounidense-británico contra nuestro país en el que estaban implicados el portaviones USS Harry Truman y varios de sus destructores", reza el comunicado.

Se detalla que la operación se llevó a cabo con ocho misiles de crucero y 17 drones. Los hutíes aseguran haber derribado un avión F-18, al tiempo que señalan que la mayoría de los aviones de guerra estadounidenses abandonaron el espacio aéreo yemení para dirigirse a aguas internacionales del mar Rojo y el portaviones también se retiró.

"Un ataque enemigo en territorio yemení" fracasó, subrayan los hutíes. "Las Fuerzas Armadas yemeníes advierten al enemigo israelí y estadounidense contra la agresión a Yemen y de que las Fuerzas Armadas yemeníes harán uso de su pleno derecho a defender Yemen y seguirán apoyando al pueblo palestino hasta que cese la agresión contra Gaza y se levante el asedio", concluyen.

🗣🇺🇦🕊TRUMP SENDS ZELENSKY MESSAGE – HE AIN’T GETTING NEW RUSSIAN REGIONS BACK according to Spanish journos (article above) who quote orange boi’s harsh words to illegitimate dictator about how he needs to sit down at negotiating table and end his terror attacks:

It is nice to say that they want to recover their land, but the cities are mostly destroyed. You look at some of those cities and not a building remains standing. So when you say ‘get the country back ... Recover what? It is a 110-year reconstruction - #Trump states.

Journos try to salvage situation by claiming Trump’s pick to end #Ukraine conflict - Mr. Kellogg - has actually PRAISED #Biden for sending billions of dollars in war crime material to #Kiev just before end of his term…

👦Looks like Trump views Zelensky as nothing more than little Kevin from Home Alone (pic above) - if orange boi’s serious, he’s gonna trod all over Mad Vlad on his way to secure peace.

🇱🇹🇷🇺🥜 😱 NUTTY LITHUANIA BANS CHRISTMAS CLASSIC NUTCRACKER OPERA in quest to 1-up Kiev regime by descending to cartoon villain levels of Russophobia.

Can’t go see Nutcracker in #Vilnius anymore since it was created by most popular Russian composer of all time - Tchaikovsky - but pro-#Kiev fanatics in shambles after new culture minister announces he LIKES listening to 19th century music great:

There is no need to be afraid that after watching a Christmas fairy tale we will become pro-Kremlin - minister Sarunas Birutis with too much logic for pro-Ukies to handle.

While #Russia-haters foam at mouths at statement, Vilnius literature professor interviewed by journos above adds that “proscribing Russian artists and their works would cause great damage to ourselves.”

Lithuanian officials seriously treating The Nutcracker like a horror movie (pic above) that needs to be banned at all costs...

⚡️🇷🇺🇺🇦⚔️On the Situation in the Kursk Region on 22 December, the 138th Day of the Invasion⚡️

🔴 From the Border Area, there are reports of increased fighting by the Russian army, the battles are still heavy, the enemy is fighting back:

🔴 In the Area of #Daryino, our troops carried out a very powerful artillery strike on the AFU positions. They report heavy losses among the enemy.

🔴 East of #Novoivanovka, fierce fighting is taking place in the forests, as well as in the direction of #Leonidovo and in #Kruglenkoye. There the enemy fails, moving further away.

🔴 In the Area of #Pogrebki, at the same time, our assault units are attacking, and they are reporting success in the area of the Maryevka Farm. The threat of creating a semi-cauldron for the Ukrainian garrison in #MalayaLoknya is becoming more and more real.

🔴 #RusskoyePorechnoye has been entered by our troops yesterday, and as reported, the 41st Brigade of the AFU fled, abandoning their positions, so that AFU units of the 80th Brigade #RusskoyePorechnoye were encircled. Today, the AFU desperately counterattacked in an attempt to dislodge ours and unblock their units.

🔴 Towards #Martynovka and #Mikhaylovka, the enemy is pulling reserves, trying to prevent the advance of the RFAF.

🔴 In the Area of #Kurilovka, our units continue to storm the AFU positions beyond #CherkasskayaKonopelka. They report progress on a two-kilometre stretch in the area of ​​the Olkhovoye Tract and the Maltsev Forest.

🔴 A Militant from the AFU's 17th Mechanised Brigade who was captured in #Kursk region complained that his unit had already lost almost all of its tanks. And only one man out of 32 returned from the last assault. Over the past 24 hours, the AFU lost two more tanks, including a German Leopard.

🔴 In the #Kursk Border Area, among those killed, Badri Kvaratskhelia, a field commander of the Free Georgia mercenary unit, was found. He came to Ukraine back in 2015. He fought from the very beginning of the SMO. A year ago, the then commander-in-chief of the AFU Zaluzhny awarded him the Golden Cross 'for the impeccable performance of combat missions in the Bakhmut direction.'

🔴 In #Rylsk, all the most urgent restoration work was quickly completed - heat and gas supply were restored, the heating circuit in houses was closed. Acting Governor Alexander Khinshtein visited the victims in the hospital.
