DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A bulk carrier has sunk in the Red Sea, days after an attack by Yemen’s Houthi rebels who are believed to have killed one mariner on board. The Tutor is the second ship to be sunk in the rebel campaign. The British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center issued a warning to sailors in the Red Sea region. It said that military authorities reported “maritime debris and oil sighted in the last reported location. The vessel is believed to have sunk.” The Houthis have acknowledged the sinking, but the U.S. military has not.
