'Avoid' Red Sea, Ph urges its mariners amid Huthi attacks
By J.Lo
"Philippine nationals should avoid area altogether unless absolutely necessary for their livelihood," foreign ministry said, citing "conflict escalation in Red Sea that poses clear and present danger to all Filipino seafarers working in the area".
Philippines on Friday urged its mariners to "avoid" Red Sea as Yemen-based Huthi rebels kept up their deadly missile and drone attacks on merchant shipping in the vital waterway.
Foreign ministry said Filipino seafarers should "exercise prudent choice" and their "right-to-refuse sailing" due to risks.
Warning came day after 23 Filipino and two Russian crew members were rescued from Greek-flagged oil tanker that was hit by several projectiles off rebel-held Yemeni port of Hodeida on Wednesday.
Attack on Sounion caused fire and cut engine power.
It was claimed by Yemen's Iran-backed Huthi rebels, who have waged campaign against international shipping that they say is in support of Gaza during Israel-Hamas war.
Philippines is major supplier of mariners to global shipping industry.
Manila said Thursday Sounion was ninth ship with Filipino crew members that has been attacked by Huthis.
One Filipino remains missing from Red Sea attack on MV Tutor in June, while 17 Filipino crew of Galaxy Leader have remained in Huthi captivity since ship was seized last November.
