News24 | 19 crew still missing after deadly Houthi attack on two ships in Red Sea
Friday, 11 July 2025 () Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the deadly sinking of a merchant vessel earlier this week, their second attack in 24 hours as they resumed their campaign against Red Sea shipping.
Deadly violence erupts in the Red Sea as Houthi militants attack Filipino crew members aboard the MV Eternity C. Eight have been rescued, but 13 remain missing, with fears of kidnapping and fatalities. The Philippine government has suspended the manning agency responsible and pledged full support to...
Yemen’s Ansarullah leader Abdul-Malik al-Houthi has declared that the reopening of Israel’s Eilat port is now “impossible,” reaffirming Yemen’s firm blockade on Israeli-linked shipping through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea. In a defiant televised address, al-Houthi warned all shipping companies against aiding Israel, promising decisive retaliation. He cited the Yemeni Navy's missile strike on the ETERNITY C and the dramatic sinking of the Magic Seas as warnings.
Yemen’s naval campaign began in November 2023 in solidarity with Gaza, following Israel’s bombing campaign. Al-Houthi denounced Israeli airstrikes on Hudaydah and praised Yemen’s missile defense systems. He stated that despite near-total U.S. backing, Israel had failed militarily, especially in Gaza, where resistance fighters killed and wounded nearly 20 Israeli soldiers in a single operation. The Red Sea front, he asserted, now belongs to the resistance — and Eilat is no longer open.

On July 2025, Iran-backed Houthi rebels launched a deadly drone and missile attack on the Eternity C, a civilian cargo ship navigating the Red Sea. After sinking the vessel, the Houthis kidnapped several surviving crew members, prompting a swift condemnation from the U.S. State Department and calls for their immediate and unconditional release.
The Houthi spokesperson claimed responsibility, announcing that the strike was "documented with audio and video proof" and carried out after the ship ignored multiple warnings. This attack follows a string of similar assaults on commercial vessels—including the Magic Seas—and signals a dramatic escalation in maritime warfare across strategic shipping lanes.
With global trade routes under threat and regional tensions surging, the U.S. is now weighing full-scale retaliation as pressure mounts in Washington and Tel Aviv to respond.

A chilling new video shows Houthi militants storming the British-flagged cargo vessel Magic Seas in the Red Sea. Heavily armed fighters board the ship at gunpoint, firing shots as chaos erupts. Within moments, thick smoke engulfs the deck, flames rise, and the ship disappears beneath the waves.
This isn’t just an attack—it’s a terrifying message. The Houthis, often underestimated, are declaring symbolic dominance over the strategic Red Sea corridor. The attack sends shockwaves across Western powers that depend on this route for trade, oil, and global connectivity, including critical undersea internet cables. With increasing control over chokepoints like Bab el-Mandeb, the Houthis now pose a geopolitical nightmare that could unravel maritime security, disrupt global commerce, and challenge Western naval dominance. The Red Sea isn’t just boiling with conflict—it’s slipping out of Western control, one ship at a time.

Houthi forces have reportedly launched Zulfiqar ballistic missiles targeting Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport, sending shockwaves through Tel Aviv. Explosions were heard across the area, triggering mass panic, flight suspensions, and emergency evacuations. This unprecedented strike marks a dangerous expansion of the Israel-Houthi confrontation and raises alarm over Iran-backed militia reaching deep into Israeli territory.
