US EditionSearch ends for those missing after Yemen’s Houthi rebels sink ship in Red Sea
YEMEN, JUL 14 – The shipowner ended the search after rescuing 10 survivors from 25 crew amid multiple missile strikes by Houthi rebels targeting vessels in the Red Sea.
- The bulker Eternity C sank following missile strikes southwest of Yemen’s Hodeidah port on July 7 and 8, 2025, leading to several crew members being reported missing or dead.
- The attacks followed escalating Houthi strikes on Red Sea shipping since November 2023, with the vessel's ties to Israeli ports possibly raising its risk profile amid ongoing regional tensions.
- The ship's engine was disabled, it began flooding, and a private security mission rescued 10 survivors, while the search for the missing was reluctantly ended by the owner prioritizing survivor care.
- UN Special Envoy Hans Grundberg denounced the assaults as breaches of international maritime law, cautioning that they could lead to significant environmental damage and geopolitical instability in this crucial shipping corridor.
- The incident highlights fragile regional stability, with the UN Security Council continuing to support the Hudaydah Agreement mission and a polio vaccination campaign underway amid Yemen's ongoing humanitarian crisis.
