DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Attackers seized a tanker linked to Israel off the coast of Yemen on Sunday, authorities said.
The attackers seized the Liberian-flagged Central Park, managed by Zodiac Maritime, in the Gulf of Aden, the company and private intelligence firm Ambrey said.
London-based Zodiac Maritime is part of Israeli billionaire Eyal Ofer’s Zodiac Group.
Both the Symi and the Central Park had been behaving as if they faced a threat in recent days.
The Houthis did not immediately acknowledge the seizure of the Central Park.
