Rescue Efforts Continue Amid Houthi Militia Attacks in the Red Sea
Rescue operations are underway in the Red Sea after the Greek-operated vessel Eternity C was sunk by Houthi militants. Ten crew members have been saved, while eleven remain missing amid reports of kidnappings by the Houthis. The attack marks another escalation in a series of maritime assaults.
ATHENS, July 10 (Reuters) - In the wake of Houthi assaults on Greek-operated ships in the Red Sea, rescue teams have intensified their efforts, successfully saving four more individuals on Thursday.
This brings the total number of rescued crew to 10, with 11 still unaccounted for, following the attack on the Eternity C by the Iran-aligned Houthi militia, who claim to hold some of the missing crew members.
The attacks, described by Houthis as support for Palestinians, have disrupted months of calm, drawing international criticism and heightening tensions in the region.
