UN chief warns of 'dangerous re-escalation' in Red Sea after Houthi attacks on ships
RED SEA, JUL 12 – Houthis resumed attacks on Red Sea commercial vessels, sinking two Greek-operated ships and causing at least four deaths and 11 missing, disrupting a key maritime trade route.
- On July 6 and 7, Yemeni Houthi militants attacked and sank the cargo ships Magic Seas and Eternity C in the Red Sea near Yemen's coast.
- These attacks followed Ansarallah's ongoing campaign targeting vessels with indirect ties to Israeli ports amid the Gaza conflict using drones, missiles, and unmanned boats.
- Magic Seas had 22 crew members including 17 Filipinos and three armed guards, while Eternity C had 22 crew including 21 Filipinos and one Russian, with some rescued and others missing or presumed dead.
- A maritime analyst described the strikes as the worst damage inflicted in 48 hours, and officials warned these attacks raise new risks for shipping in this key global trade corridor.
- The attacks escalated tensions in the Red Sea, leading to the end of search efforts for missing crew, advisories against deploying Filipino seafarers, and international condemnation amid ongoing regional conflict.
