US Navy detains 5 people who attacked tanker near Yemen
 
FEATUREDWIB SEA November 27, 2023 Staff Writer
 

Cairo — The US Navy detained five people who attacked a tanker in the Gulf of Aden, the US military said on Monday, adding that the vessel and its crew are safe.

A US Navy ship responded to a distress call on Sunday from the Central Park, a commercial tanker sailing under the flag of Liberia. The ship is managed by Zodiac maritime company, which is owned by an Israeli businessman.

When the US vessel arrived, five armed individuals attempted to flee via their small boat, but were pursued until they surrendered, US Central Command said in a statement.

In the early hours of Monday, two ballistic missiles were fired from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen towards the two vessels location. The missiles landed approximately 10 nautical miles from the ships. There were no damage or injuries reported.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Detained.  That's good.  You certainly wouldn't want to capture them for attempted piracy! :whistle:
