The U.S. Navy responded to a distress call from the Israeli-linked Central Park chemical tanker, which had previously been attacked by militants apparently affiliated with the Houthis. The U.S. Navy prevented the ship from being seized and kept it safe.
The Americans arrested the militants and took them to interrogate them and extract information about their recent actions in the maritime zone.
The U.S. Navy was assisted in this operation by a Japanese destroyer, and when the Houthis, who boarded Central Park in an attempt to take control of the ship, realized they were in trouble, the five tried to escape - but were caught by the Americans.
