A bulk carrier sank in the Red Sea days after an attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, who are believed to have killed one mariner on board. The sinking of the Tutor marks an escalation in the Houthis’ campaign targeting Red Sea shipping, despite ongoing U.S.-led efforts to halt the attacks. The attack, using drone boats, highlights the ongoing conflict in the region. The shipping industry has condemned the attacks, calling for them to stop immediately. Meanwhile, the Houthis claim that U.S.-led airstrikes targeted areas in Yemen under rebel control.
