A party-list lawmaker representing overseas Filipino workers condemned on Tuesday the killing of a seafarer, who was earlier reported missing following the attack of Yemen’s Houthi rebels on a cargo vessel.
“We extend our sincere condolences to the bereaved family of our seafarer. The Houthi rebels have attacked cargo vessels several times and often there are Filipinos onboard,” Magsino stated in Filipino. The White House confirmed the death of a Filipino sailor early Tuesday morning and also condemned the actions of Iran-backed Houthis as acts of terrorism.
The vessel suffered serious flooding and was abandoned after it was struck by a sea drone off rebel-held Hodeida on Wednesday, according to a security agency operated by the British navy.
