Palestinian Territories – AFP
A tanker linked to an Israel-affiliated company was seized off Yemen on Sunday by armed individuals, US defence officials said, following a series of incidents on the same shipping route.
American and coalition forces responded to the emergency and the crew of the M/V Central Park was safe, one of the officials said.
Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels had previously threatened to attack the tanker if it did not divert to the port of Hodeida, according to the maritime security firm Ambrey.
