In June 2024, the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen successfully executed an attack on the Greek-owned MV Tutor using an explosive-laden watercraft. This hostile action resulted in the sinking of the Liberia-flagged bulk carrier, marking a significant event that adds to the history of disruptions in international maritime traffic in the Red Sea. The incident stands as a reflection of escalating maritime security threats, with non-state actors demonstrating capabilities to inflict harm and losses on commercial maritime interests using relatively low-tech but strategically deployed resources.
