Assailants in latest ship attack near Yemen were likely Somali, not Houthi rebels, Pentagon says

Associated Press  

WASHINGTON — The five armed assailants captured by U.S. forces after seizing a commercial ship near Yemen over the weekend were likely Somali and not Iranian-backed Houthi rebels, the Pentagon said Monday. The five assailants attempted to flee in their small boats, but the U.S. forces pursued them and fired warning shots, “resulting in their eventual surrender,” Ryder said. However, a little over 90 minutes later, two ballistic missiles fired from Houthi-controlled Yemen landed about 10 nautical miles from the Mason. Ryder said there were three Chinese vessels in the area at the time but they did not respond to the Central Park’s distress call.
