The crew of a ship attacked by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have been airlifted to safety.
The U.S. Naval Forces Central Command (NAVCENT) said that sailors on board the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group managed to evacuate the crew on Saturday, but added that one civilian sailor is still missing.
The Greek-owned bulk carrier M/V Tutor was attacked in the Red Sea by the Iran-aligned group on June 12 who targeted it with missiles.
They claimed that the attack, which left the ship unable to maneuver after it caused flooding and damage to the engine room, was part of the group’s campaign in support of Palestine to target ships bound for Israel.
According to the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations the abandoned vessel is now adrift in the Red Sea.
