The United States on March 6, vowed to hold Yemen's Huthi rebels accountable for a strike on a bulk carrier that killed two people, apparently the first fatalities in the insurgents' attacks on shipping. "We will continue to hold them accountable. We call on governments around the world to do the same," State Department spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters.

MANILA, Philippines — Tiniyak kahapon ng Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) na nasa ligtas na kalagayan at hindi nasaktan ang 23 tripulanteng Pinoy ng barkong inatake ng grupo ng mga rebeldeng Houthi sa Yemen.

Sinabi ng DMW na ang barko lamang ang nagkaroon ng kaunting pinsala sa nasabing pag-atake subalit patuloy pa rin ito sa paglalakbay.

“Their vessel which sustained slight damage was sailing close to the Yeme­ni port city of Hodeida when it was attacked. The vessel is continuing on its journey to its next port of call,” ayon sa DMW.

Inulat ng Reuters, na nitong Sabado ay tinarget ng isang anti-ship missile ang M/T Wind - isang oil tanker na may bandilang Panamanian at pag-aari ng Greek , sa layong 10 nautical miles sa southwest ng Yemen,.

Dahilan upang pasukin ng tubig at ikasira ng propulsion at steering ng barko, na nagawang maibalik ng mga crew  ang power kaya patuloy sa paglayag.

Ang Houthi ay kaisa ng mga Palestinian sa gitna ng digmaan ng Israel sa Hamas, sa Gaza.
