Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the first deadly Red Sea attack in over a year, which targeted the Liberian-flagged cargo ship Eternity C. The attack resulted in at least two crew members killed and several reported missing. A European Union search-and-rescue operation was initiated. The U.S. Embassy reported that Houthi militants kidnapped many surviving crew members and called for their safe release. These recent attacks are part of ongoing tensions linked to the conflict in Gaza, marking a significant escalation in maritime security concerns in the region.
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for the first deadly Red Sea attack in over a year, targeting the Liberian-flagged cargo ship Eternity C.
At least two crew members were killed, and the crew abandoned ship, leading to a European Union-coordinated search-and-rescue operation that is ongoing.
The U.S. Embassy in Yemen stated that Houthi terrorists have kidnapped surviving crew members, calling for their immediate and unconditional safe release.
Attacks on the Eternity C and another Liberian-flagged ship were the first Houthi attacks in the Red Sea since mid-April, spurred partly by the war in Gaza.
