Houthis Attack and Sink Israeli Cargo Ship Eternity C
Yemeni Houthis sank the cargo ship Eternity C linked to Israel. Four crew members died, six were rescued, and fifteen are reported missing.
Yemeni Houthis carried out an attack on the Israeli cargo ship Eternity C, resulting in the vessel being sunk. The incident occurred in international waters near the Yemeni coast. The attack was part of a series of actions targeting shipping connected to Israel. The cargo ship sustained critical damage, which led to its sinking.
At the time of the incident, there were 25 crew members on board. According to available information, four sailors died before they could evacuate the vessel. Another six were rescued. The remaining fifteen are considered missing, and their fate remains unknown. Search and rescue operations are ongoing, involving international forces and regional maritime services.
The Eternity C was sailing under the flag of a European country and was used for commercial cargo transport. The Houthis stated that the vessel was targeted due to its ties with Israel. Since the escalation of the conflict in the Gaza Strip, the Houthis have repeatedly attacked international vessels transiting the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, declaring support for Palestinians.
The attack on Eternity C is one of the most devastating incidents since the beginning of the escalation. Naval forces of several countries have stepped up surveillance in the region and expressed concern over the growing threat to international shipping. Representatives of multiple states have called for an immediate end to such attacks, citing the risk of destabilization not only in the region but also in global logistics.
The Israeli side has so far refrained from official statements, though it has previously warned against attacks on vessels linked to its economic interests. Meanwhile, in response to the Houthis' actions, several countries are considering expanding the maritime coalition to ensure security in the Red Sea and adjacent areas.
The tragedy involving the Eternity C has drawn attention to the threats posed by instability in the region. Shipping companies are strengthening security measures and adjusting routes to avoid high-risk areas. International organizations continue to monitor the situation, stressing the need for a collective response to threats against maritime transport security.
