Two Filipino seafarers were injured when Houthi rebels attacked a Dutch-flagged cargo vessel in the Red Sea, the Department of Migrant Workers confirmed yesterday.
DMW Secretary Hans Cacdac said the victims are undergoing treatment.
Cacdac said 10 other Filipino crewmembers of Minervagcht are safe.
The 12 seafarers are set to be repatriated this weekend, Cacdac said.
Based on news reports, a missile attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels set the cargo vessel on fire.
