Huthis dürften ein zweites Schiff im Roten Meer versenkt haben
June 19, 2024 -
Ein Frachter, den eine Seedrohne im Roten Meer getroffen hat, ist gesunken, meldet die UK Marine. Es ist das zweite versenkte Schiff, seit Huthi Rebellen mit Angriffen auf Schiffe in der Region angefangen haben.
The Greek-owned Tutor coal carrier was struck by missiles and an explosive-laden remote-controlled boat on June 12 and had been taking on water, according to previous reports from the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO), the Houthis and other sources.
One crew member, believed to be in the Tutor's engine room at the time of the attacks, remains missing.
The Iran-aligned Houthis have been targeting commercial ships in the Red Sea region since November, in what they say are attacks in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
The UK-owned Rubymar was the first ship sunk by the Houthis. It went down on March 2, about two weeks after being struck by missiles, Reuters said.
