Houthis believed to have sunk second ship, the Tutor, in the Red Sea, UKMTO says

Yemen’s Houthi militants are believed to have sunk a second ship in the Red Sea, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said on Tuesday.
The Houthis and other sources previously identified the imperilled ship as the Greek-owned Tutor. It was struck by missiles and an explosive-laden remote-controlled boat on June 12 and had been taking on water.
“Military authorities report maritime debris and oil sighted in the (Tutor’s) last reported location,” UKMTO said in a security update.
The Tutor’s manager could not be immediately reached for comment.
One crew member, believed to be in Tutor’s engine room at the time of the attacks, remains missing.
The sinking of the Tutor would mark the second sinking of a commercial vessel targeted by the Houthis since November, in what they say are attacks in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
