Off Yemen's coast, armed attackers briefly took over an Israeli-affiliated tanker before the US Navy apprehended it. Subsequently, missiles fired from rebel-held Yemen came within close range of a US warship supporting the vessel in the Gulf of Aden, stated a report in the Associated Press. The incident has raised tensions in the wake of several attacks on ships that are connected to Israel's ongoing conflict.

Zodiac Maritime, private intelligence firm Ambrey, and United States and British military sources have all stated that they were targeting the Liberian-flagged Central Park in the Gulf of Aden. Following the seizure, the armed individuals were forced to disembark and ultimately surrender by the US forces, which included the USS Mason. Missiles from Yemen under Houthi control were then fired and came down near the ships. Luckily, there were no wounds or losses reported from either vessel, the report added.
