The Yemeni Houthi rebels continue to flex their military muscles and transform the critical commercial waterway of the Red Sea into deadly waters.
Sky News reported:
“At least four people have been killed and many other crew kidnapped after Houthi rebels sank a cargo ship in the Red Sea, authorities say.”
The Eternity C was the second vessel attacked in a couple of days, apparently targeted with drones and rocket-propelled grenades fired from speedboats – and again, detailed images of the operation were divulged yesterday (9).
Six people have been reportedly rescued after spending more than a day in the sea, but the fate of 15 of the crew is currently unknown.
“In total, 22 crew – mostly Filipinos – were on board, as well as a three-member security team. The ship finally sank on Wednesday after being attacked over two days.
The US embassy in Yemen posted on X that several survivors had been kidnapped.”

“After killing their shipmates, sinking their ship, and hampering rescue efforts, the Houthi terrorists have kidnapped many surviving crew members of the Eternity C. We call for their immediate and unconditional safe release. The Houthis continue to show the world why the United States was right to label them a terrorist organization.” US Embassy in Yemen
“A Houthi spokesperson claimed the Yemeni navy had rescued ‘a number of the ship’s crew’, given them medical care and taken them ‘to a safe location’.
Eternity C’s operator, Cosmoship Management, has not responded to requests for confirmation of casualties or injuries.”
This latest incident came a day after another cargo ship, the Magic Seas, was also attacked and sunk by Houthis – but in this case, all the crew were rescued.
“Both of these ships flew Liberia flags and were operated by Greek firms. Their firms had docked at Israeli ports in the past year, shipping data showed.”
These latest attacks remind the world of the more than 100 ships attacked by the rebels from November 2023 to December 2024, in what they claim is ‘a show of solidarity with the Palestinians’.
