Yemen Monitor/Monitoring Unit/Special:
Global newspapers, over the past few hours, have highlighted several issues in Yemen across political, military, security, and other levels.
American media outlets reported that US Navy officials announced on Friday that the aircraft carrier USS Harry S Truman and a force of 65,000 sailors will deploy next week in a mission expected to take the carrier strike group to the Middle East.
According to US Fleet Forces, the Truman carrier strike group and other ships in its strike group will depart early next week from Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia, and Naval Station Mayport, Florida.
The carrier strike group includes Carrier Air Wing One with nine squadrons of aircraft, the Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, and the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyers USS Stout and USS Jason Dunham.
The strike group has spent the past several months training in the western Atlantic in preparation for a planned, rare deployment expected to take the ship to the hostile environment of the Red Sea.
The Harry S. Truman will head to the Middle East with a strike force of 90 aircraft, including F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jets, E-2D Hawkeye command and control aircraft, E/A18 Growler electronic warfare aircraft, and MH-60 Seahawk helicopters.
Meanwhile, under the headline “Shifting to Nuclear Power: Yemen Strengthens its Future in Atomic Energy,” the Herald Tribune reported that Yemen signed in June, the first framework for a country program with the International Atomic Energy Agency.
The agreement puts the two parties in a five-year working relationship within the framework of the strategic partnership, aiming to develop Yemen’s national nuclear energy development goals.
The agreement is expected to usher in a new era of restructuring atomic energy and improving the economy in the Republic of Yemen.
