Four 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.

  • On Tuesday, a Houthi drone and speedboat attack in the Red Sea killed four seafarers, marking the second incident within 24 hours after months of calm.
  • The resurgence of Houthi attacks in the Red Sea, prompted by the collapse of Gaza and US-Houthi ceasefires, ended a months-long lull after over 100 ships targeted since November 2023.
  • UKMTO reports Houthi militants used sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades to attack the Eternity C, causing significant damage 51 nautical miles west of Hudaydah, Yemen.
  • Following the attack, four of the 25 crew members were killed, seven rescued, 14 missing, and the vessel sank on Wednesday morning.
  • Renewed Houthi attacks have halved global Red Sea shipping traffic since 2023, prompting seafarers and governments, including the Philippines, to avoid high-risk routes, industry experts say.
