U.S Navy Seizes Attackers Who Held Israel-Linked Tanker

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Armed assailants seized and later let go a tanker linked to Israel off the coast of Yemen before being apprehended by the United States Navy. Two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi-controlled Yemen then landed near a U.S. warship in the Gulf of Aden, raising the stakes amid a series of ship attacks linked to the Israel-Hamas war. Yemen’s internationally recognized government blamed the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels for the attack. But the rebels in control of the capital, Sanaa, did not acknowledge either the seizure or the missile attack. The U.S. Central Command said Monday that there was no damage or reported injuries from either vessel.
