A fresh and deadly wave of Houthi maritime attacks has shattered a months-long period of relative calm in the Red Sea, with the Liberian-flagged, Greek-operated bulk carrier Eternity C (IMO 9588249) becoming the latest casualty.
Hours before the latest attack, the Houthis had claimed responsibility for a strike on another Liberia-flagged, Greek-operated bulk carrier, the MV Magic Seas, off southwest Yemen on Sunday, saying the vessel sank.
All crew on the Magic Seas were rescued by a passing merchant vessel and arrived safely in Djibouti on Monday, Djibouti authorities said.
The incident occurred a day after Houthi militants in Yemen targeted another vessel, their first assault on shipping since President Trump announced a truce with them.
