Two Filipino seafarers were killed in a recent attack by Houthi rebels on a merchant vessel in the Gulf of Aden, according to the Philippine Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) on Thursday, March 7th. The DMW withheld the names of the deceased for privacy reasons but expressed their deepest condolences to their families.
The attack also left two other Filipino crew members severely injured. The ship's manning agency reported that the remaining Filipino crew were transferred to a safe port.
This incident highlights the ongoing dangers faced by Filipino seafarers working in the volatile region. The DMW reiterated its call to shipowners to strictly follow designated high-risk areas and implement appropriate security measures to protect their crew.
