A U.S. Navy warship, the USS Mason, responded to a distress call from the Central Park, a commercial tanker seized by armed individuals in the Gulf of Aden. The attackers were not identified. The USS Mason demanded the release of the ship and successfully chased and apprehended five armed individuals who tried to escape. Two ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi-controlled parts of Yemen towards the USS Mason and Central Park but landed far away. The incident is the latest in a series of attacks in Middle Eastern waters.
