A cargo ship sank on Wednesday in the Red Sea after being attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center (UKMTO) said in a warning to other mariners in the region. A sailor on board is believed to have died in the attack, the Associated Press reported, which would make this the Houthis’ second deadly attack on international shipping.
The ship, a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier called Tutor, was the second to sink due to a Houthi attack. The first was a British-owned ship hit by a missile in early March. No one died in that attack, but the sinking ship is believed to have severed several underwater communications cables.
US officials said a Houthi missile strike against other commercial vesselin the Gulf of Aden, also in March, it killed at least three people and injured four others.

The notice from UKMTO said on Tuesday The Tutor was struck in the stern on June 12th by a small white vessel about six meters long. The carrier began to take on water and was hit by an “unknown aerial projectile”. The crew was evacuated and marine debris and oil were reported at the ship’s last known location, indicating that the ship had sunk.
The United States Navy helped evacuate the ship’s crew when it was attacked on June 12. In a statement Monday, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group said the attack on the Tutor caused severe damage and flooding to its engine. fourth, and that sailor was still missing.
He said a Navy helicopter transported 24 sailors from the Tutor to the USS Philippine Sea, then transferred them to the American aircraft carrier for medical examinations before taking them ashore for further care.

Houthi attacks on commercial ships have continued in the vital maritime corridors of the Red Sea and surrounding waters since November. The Houthis consider the attacks a direct response to the Israel-Hamas war. The Yemeni rebel group is supported by Iran, as is Hamas.
The USA accused Iran in December of being “deeply involved” in attacks on Red Sea shipping.
On June 13, the U.S. Navy evacuated a seriously injured sailor from the Ukrainian-flagged, Palau-flagged Verbena, which was sailing in the Gulf of Aden when it was struck by two anti-ship cruise missiles fired from Houthi-controlled territory in Yemen. .
