It appears the US Navy has rescued the tanker ship that was boarded and seized by the Houthis in Yemen earlier today.
According to this Reuters reporter, a Navy warship responded to a distress call from the tanker and it is now safe:

I will note that some of the big publications aren’t naming the Houthis as the militants who tried to steal the tanker. But it was in other reporting earlier today and, considering the Houthis declared war on Israel and the tanker is owned by an Israeli businessman, I’d say there’s a high probability it is the Houthis.
