US EditionFour Crew Members Killed After Yemen’s Houthis Strike Cargo Ship in the Red Sea
RED SEA NEAR YEMEN, JUL 9 – The attacks resumed after months of calm, killing four seafarers and reducing Red Sea shipping traffic by half, according to BIMCO maritime group.
- The Liberian-flagged cargo ship MV Eternity C was attacked and sank in the Red Sea near Yemen on July 7-9, 2025, resulting in deaths and missing crew members.
- The attack followed a two-month pause after a US-Houthi ceasefire in May and occurred amid resumed Houthi assaults supporting Palestinians in Gaza and regional instability.
- Houthis attacked the vessel using sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades, sank the ship, abducted some survivors, and previously sank the Greek-operated Magic Seas nearby.
- Four of 25 crew members died, six were rescued after over 24 hours in the sea, 15 remain missing, and the US State Department called for the immediate safe release of abductees.
- This incident marked a resurgence of over 100 Houthi attacks on commercial shipping since late 2023, raising concerns over Red Sea security and international trade disruptions.
