The incident is part of a troubling pattern, marking the third Houthi attack on a ship crewed by Filipino sailors in the past year. Previous attacks resulted in the deaths of two Filipino seafarers and the capture of 17 others, government data shows.The Houthi militants, aligned with Iran, have claimed responsibility for the missile strike on Tutor and another vessel, Verbena, in the Gulf of Aden. These assaults are part of a broader campaign by the Houthis, who have targeted ships in the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab Strait, and the Gulf of Aden since November, citing solidarity with Palestinians in the Gaza conflict. The attacks have included the sinking of one ship, the seizure of another, and the killing of three seafarers.
