Rescuers search for survivors after Houthi attack on cargo ship in the Red Sea
OFF THE COAST OF YEMEN NEAR HODEIDAH, JUL 9 – At least three sailors died and five were rescued after the Greek-operated cargo ship Eternity C sank following a Houthi attack amid ongoing Red Sea tensions.
- On July 9, Yemen's Iran-backed Houthi rebels attacked and sank the Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated cargo ship Eternity C in the Red Sea near Hodeida.
- The attack came shortly after another Liberian-flagged cargo vessel, Magic Seas, was sunk, both incidents occurring as part of a series of strikes the Houthis attribute to their backing of Palestinians amidst the Israel-Hamas conflict.
- Houthi naval units attacked the ship Eternity C, which was en route to Eilat port despite ignoring prior warnings, using a combination of missile strikes—including six cruise and ballistic missiles—rocket-propelled grenades launched from small vessels, and an assault by guided boats.
- The attack resulted in the deaths of at least three crew members and injuries to several others. Six crew, including five Filipinos and one Indian, were rescued, while 19 remain unaccounted for. Diaplous stated they will persist in efforts to locate the missing sailors throughout the day.
- The United States condemned the attacks and pledged ongoing efforts to protect maritime security and freedom of navigation in the Red Sea, a route once carrying $1 trillion in annual cargo.
