Ship Attacked by Houthis Sinks in Red Sea, 6 of 25 Mostly Filipino Crew Rescued
RED SEA OFF THE COAST OF YEMEN, JUL 9 – The Houthi militia resumed attacks on shipping targeting vessels linked to Israel, killing four crew members and injuring two in the first Red Sea fatalities since June 2024, officials said.
- On July 9, 2025, a team of maritime security companies began an operation to evacuate the crew of the Greek-managed bulk carrier Eternity C near Yemen following a fatal attack.
- The mission responds to the attack on July 7, when Houthi militants used sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades in a second assault that day following months of calm.
- The attack killed at least three seafarers, left two injured, destroyed lifeboats, and prevented the crew of 22, mostly Filipinos, from safely abandoning the vessel.
- Ellie Shafik, head of intelligence at Vanguard Tech, warned that as the Gaza conflict continues, ships connected in any way are likely to encounter heightened dangers.
- The evacuation mission aims at a peaceful operation to rescue the crew and recover bodies, while diplomatic talks between Greece and Saudi Arabia seek to salvage the ship amid renewed Red Sea attacks.
