Houthis Terrorize Sailors With Fresh Attacks on Ships in Red Sea

Yemen’s Houthi militants sank two commercial ships and killed sailors during three days of attacks in the Red Sea this week — a stark reminder to vessel owners and crews of the risks of traversing the maritime chokepoint.

The Eternity C, a commodity carrier, sank Wednesday morning, two days after it came under attack, the European Union’s naval force in the area said in a statement. Six crew were rescued while 19 remain “missing,” it said. Of the 19, there are at least three fatalities, a person with knowledge of the incident said, asking not to be identified discussing private information.
