Yemen's Houthi rebels killed 3 mariners with an attack on a ship in the Red Sea, a European naval force says, fueling concern over a possible new wave of attacks by the Iran-backed group.
And the shipping isn’t all mapped out ship-by-ship that far in advance, so they likely found out that they’d be going in these waters after they had been on assignment and outside of e.g. the Philippines for some time? Is that right?
Well, I suppose either way my stance is that it’s mainly the company’s fault for endangering the crew, since it would be irresponsible for Houthis to allow human shield tactics to perpetuate the genocide.

pretty much, yeah
ultimately the responsibility lies with the captain, he needlessly endangered the crew by refusing to comply with the Houthis’ orders
