Houthis Sink Cargo Ships, Kill Sailors, Kidnap Crew in Red Sea

admin
SHARE

On July 7–8, Houthi rebels launched coordinated attacks on two Greek-owned, Liberian-flagged cargo ships in the southern Red Sea: Eternity C and Magic Seas. Using sea drones, missile strikes, and gunfire, the Houthis sank both vessels—marking the most aggressive maritime escalation since early 2024.

Eternity C: 25 crew members were on board; four were verified killed, ten were rescued (including eight Filipinos, an Indian, and a Greek guard), six were thought to have been abducted, and five were reported missing.

Magic Seas: Some crew members might be held, but the crew was safely evacuated before the ship was destroyed.

International Rescue Response & Condemnation
EU’s naval task force Operation Aspides rescued survivors and provided updates.

The US embassy in Yemen accused the Houthis of kidnapping sailors and demanded their immediate release
The Times. The Philippine government is coordinating support and repatriation efforts for its nationals.

Consequences for International Trade and Shipping
These acts disrupt one of the most important maritime routes in the world and are linked to broader Houthi sympathy for Palestine. Over 100 vessels have already been attacked since late 2023, causing a 75% drop in maritime traffic. International pressure is mounting for fortified naval escorts—like the US-led Operation Prosperity Guardian and EU’s Aspides—to ensure navigation safety.
