The attack was not a surprise. The US has been bombing Yemen endlessly, but it fell of the news cycle when this failed to have much of an impact on their blockade of the Red Sea, which was paused only thanks to the cease fire with Gaza/Israel.
Anyhow, after Israel returned to bombing, the Houthis resumed that blockade, and Trump announced plans to continue and escalate such actions and direct another carrier there. Similarly the weapons used are unlikely to have varied - mostly just HARM and TLAMs, perhaps backed by more Hellfires from Predators. And finally the targets are also self evident - Houthi leaders, who we've been regularly targeting throughout this entire thing.
Granted I couldn't tell you the exact time the latest bombs would land, though by cross referencing the time the additional carrier arrived I could have given you a pretty good ballpark!
