A total of 38 Filipino seafarers were caught in two separate attacks by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea earlier this month. While many were rescued, several remain missing, and at least three are possibly dead.

Commercial ships still sailing through the Red Sea are broadcasting messages about their nationality and even religion on their public tracking systems to avoid being targeted by Yemen's Houthis after deadly attacks this week by the militia.

The Iran-backed Houthis released a new video showing their attack on the Liberian-flagged cargo ship Eternity C which sank in the Red Sea on Wednesday, killing several crew members according to media reports.
