Verdict: False

This video appears to be from ARMA 3 and does not show the Eisenhower being hit by a missile.

Fact Check:

The Houthis rebels claimed to have hit the Eisenhower on May 31 in retaliation for joint U.S-U.K strikes that killed several people, according to The Washington Post.

Social media users are sharing a video of a missile striking a warship, claiming it shows a strike on the Eisenhower. One user wrote, “Yemen’s Houthis launched a missile attack on the American aircraft carrier USS Dwight Eisenhower in the Red Sea – media.”

This claim, though, is false. Through a reverse image search, Check Your Fact found that the video was first posted to X in January 2024, five months before the Houthis claimed to have hit the Eisenhower.

The video appears to be from ARMA 3 and shows the fictional USS Freedom, according to UK Defense Journal. ARMA 3 is a military simulation game published by Bohemia Interactive. (RELATED: No, Video Does Not Show The Taliban Shooting Down A Pakistani Helicopter?)

Pavel Křižka, public relations manager for Bohemia Interactive, told Check Your Fact that “we confirm that the video was produced using a footage from (modded) Arma 3 game” and linked to a statement from the company about ARMA 3 footage being used for “fake news.”

A Department of Defense spokesperson told Check Your Fact on May 31 that the Houthis claim to have hit the Eisenhower  is “not true” and that “nothing happening to the Ike.”
