Houthis Sink Second Greek Ship, Crew Missing

News summary

Yemen's Houthi rebels have intensified Red Sea attacks by sinking the Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated cargo ship Eternity C, resulting in three to four crew deaths and several missing or presumed kidnapped. This marks the second Greek bulk carrier sunk by Houthis within a week, ending months of relative calm. The assault, involving sea drones, RPGs, and gunfire, forced the crew to abandon ship, with 10 survivors—mostly Filipino—rescued after up to 48 hours in the water. While the United States and EU accuse the Houthis of kidnapping crew members, the rebels claim they provided medical care and safe transport to some. The attacks have disrupted Suez Canal trade and prompted shipping companies to suspend operations in the region. The escalation comes amid fragile Gaza ceasefire talks and ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations.
