Five of the 21 Filipino seafarers aboard the cargo vessel Eternity C, which sank in the Red Sea after an alleged attack by Houthi rebels, have been rescued, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) confirmed.
The Liberia-flagged ship reportedly came under drone and rocket-propelled grenade attacks and has since sunk, with rescue efforts ongoing for the remaining crew.
The DFA reported at least two fatalities but has yet to confirm their nationalities.
Another Liberia-flagged ship, the MV Magic Seas, was also attacked, but all 22 crew members, including 17 Filipinos, were safely rescued.
The Department of Migrant Workers assured families of the Filipino crew that assistance is being provided and that coordination with authorities and the shipowner is ongoing.
