Houthi Resurgence in Red Sea: Greek Cargo Ships Targeted

In a resurgence of maritime aggression, Yemen's Houthi rebels have sunk the Eternity C, a Greek-operated cargo ship, in the Red Sea. The attack resulted in the tragic loss of five lives, while ten seafarers were rescued. This attack is the latest in a series of assaults on commercial shipping by the Houthis.

The group released a video featuring the rescued crew contacting families, claiming ignorance of a mandatory maritime ban imposed on vessels heading to Israeli ports. The video, unverified by independent sources like Reuters, adds to the mounting tension surrounding the Houthis' aggressive maritime strategy.

As part of their escalating military operations, the Houthis vowed to target ships linked to Israeli trade. In response, Greece announced the deployment of a salvage vessel in the Red Sea, aimed at preserving maritime safety and ensuring secure passage for all global shipping endeavors.
