A Liberian-flagged cargo ship experienced an attack by Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, leaving two crew members injured and two others missing. This incident followed another attack on the Greek-owned bulk carrier Magic Seas, which was forced to evacuate its crew. The assaults, including drones and small arms fire, have raised concerns over an increasing Houthi threat to maritime shipping. The situation escalates amid regional tensions regarding Israel-Hamas conflicts and Iran's nuclear negotiations.
The attack on the Greek-owned bulk carrier Eternity C in the crucial maritime route came after the Houthis attacked the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned bulk carrier Magic Seas with drones, missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and small arms fire Sunday, forcing its crew of 22 to abandon the vessel.
The European Union anti-piracy patrol Operation Atalanta and the private security firm Ambrey reported the latest attack. They said the Eternity C had been heading north toward the Suez Canal when it came under fire by men in small boats and by bomb-carrying drones.
