The Iran-backed Houthis released footage on Monday of crew members missing after Red Sea attacks on the Eternity C and Magic Seas cargo ships
The Iran-backed Houthis released video footage on Monday of crew members missing after attacks on the Eternity C and Magic Seas cargo ships, claiming in an accompanying statement to have “rescued” the mariners.
Philippine Foreign Undersecretary Eduardo De Vega confirmed the Houthis were holding nine Filipino seafarers.
“I do not want to use the term hostage. At least we know they are alive,” he said.
“We’re not going to talk directly with the Houthis. We’re going to seek help from friendly countries,” he added.
