17 Filipino seafarers safe after Houthi Attack in Red Sea
Seventeen Filipino seafarers have safely escaped an attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, according to the Department of Migrant Workers (DMW). The incident happened on Sunday, July 6, when the Filipinos—along with Vietnamese and Romanian crew—were aboard a bulk carrier near Yemen. Armed men aboard small boats attempted to hijack the vessel, but the ship's security team managed to repel the attack. All 19 crew members were able to escape and were rescued by a passing container ship. Migrant Workers Secretary Hans Leo Cacdac confirmed that all the Filipino seafarers are now safe and are temporarily staying in a hotel in Djibouti, East Africa. The DMW is working closely with other government agencies and the licensed manning agency (LMA) to ensure the seafarers' safe and speedy return to the Philippines. Cacdac also assured that full assistance will be extended to them and their families. The attack occurred amid heightened tensions in the region. Just last month, the Iran-backed Houthis warned they would target U.S. military ships if the U.S. participated in any military action against Iran. U.S. President Donald Trump had earlier confirmed a successful strike on Iran on June 22.

The force declined to answer what drug the 53-year-old man, who remains in custody, is suspected of taking, saying: 'We wouldn't go into this detail at this stage of the investigation.' Arne Slot has expressed his admiration for the emergency response to the serious incident that occurred during our trophy parade. Our head coach was due to receive two accolades at the LMA occasion tonight but withdrew in solidarity with those affected by the incident on Monday. — Liverpool FC (@LFC) May 27, 2025 The man is being described a 'white British' and 'from the Liverpool area'. The incident occurred around 6.10pm on Water Street, shortly after Liverpool's open-top tour bus passed by on the Strand at the end of its 10-mile route. The BBC reported that the car was travelling down Water Street towards the Strand when it collided with the pedestrians. Liverpool FC held an open-top bus parade to celebrate its Premier League triumph, with hundreds of thousands of fans lining the streets along the 10-mile route. At the time, Prime Minister Kier Starmer took to social media to address what had happened. He said: 'The scenes in Liverpool are appalling. 'My thoughts are with all those injured or affected. Recommended reading: 'I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and ongoing response to this shocking incident." A fundraising campaign set up for those affected has raised more than £30,000, including a £10,000 donation from the Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation, the former Liverpool player's charity. The Liverpool Spirit Appeal was set up by the Community Foundation for Merseyside, in partnership with Liverpool City Council, and Liverpool Charity and Voluntary Services (LCVS), and money raised will be distributed to those experiencing physical or psychological injuries as a result of the incident, as well as to community organisations.
