Se cree que los hutíes han hundido un segundo barco en el Mar Rojo
June 19, 2024 - Un barco alcanzado por un dron marítimo la semana pasada en el Mar Rojo se ha hundido, dijo la Armada del RU, la segunda embarcación hundida desde que los rebeldes hutíes de Yemen comenzaorn sus ataques contra la navegación en la región.
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.
