The Atlantic publishes Yemen ‘attack plans shared by Trump aides’ on Signal
Al Jazeera
Details released by media outlet include the times of US strikes and types of aircraft being used against the Houthis.
The Atlantic has published what it said were “attack plans” against Yemen’s Houthi rebels that top United States government officials shared in a group chat that inadvertently included the media outlet’s editor-in-chief.
The release on Wednesday came after the administration of US President Donald Trump sought to downplay the significance of the texts shared on the Signal messaging app, according to The Atlantic.
The newly published messages, transmitted on March 15, appear to have been sent by an account seeming to belong to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
They include the times of strikes and the types of aircraft being used, as well as early reports about how effective the attacks against the Houthis were.
