Houthis sink another ship in Red Sea

The Houthis have claimed responsibility for attacking the Greek cargo ship Eternity C, which was sunk in the Red Sea.

According to a statement by the group’s spokesperson Yahya Saree, the attack was motivated by the reactivation of trade agreements between the shipowner and the Israeli port of Eilat.

“Yemeni naval forces struck the Eternity C, which was headed toward the occupied Palestinian port of Umm al-Rashrāsh (the Arabic name for Eilat). The attack was carried out with the use of a remotely controlled vessel, as well as six cruise and ballistic missiles,” Saree said.

There have been no reports of casualties. The U.S. Embassy in Yemen stated that the Houthis have kidnapped the ship’s crew.

To remind, several days ago, the Houthis sank another commercial vessel, bringing the same reason.
