US Navy Saves Merchant Ship Following Houthi Attack

U.S. officials reported that sailors from the Dwight D. Eisenhower carrier strike group successfully conducted a rescue operation for the crew of a merchant vessel after it was attacked by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in the Red Sea this past Saturday.

The attack targeted the M/V Tutor, a bulk cargo carrier flying the Liberian flag and owned by a Greek company. It was hit by an unmanned surface vessel operated by the Houthis while navigating the Red Sea on Wednesday. The impact caused significant flooding and damage to the engine room, a Navy release detailed.

Following the incident, the crew was forced to abandon the ship. They were subsequently rescued by the USS Philippine Sea and allied forces, as stated by U.S. Central Command. The Tutor is reported to still be in the Red Sea, gradually sinking as it continues to take on water.

Morgan Freeman’s View on Black History Month

Morgan Freeman has once again voiced his disapproval of Black History Month, expressing his dissatisfaction with the concept.

"I detest it," the 87-year-old actor remarked in an interview with Variety on Saturday. "The mere idea of it. You are going to give me the shortest month in a year? And you are going to celebrate ‘my’ history?! This whole idea makes my teeth itch. It’s not right."
