#### Ten Crew Members Rescued, but Many Still Missing After Assault by Yemeni Militants
Four additional crew members from the cargo ship Eternity C, which was recently sunk by Yemen's Houthi militia, have been rescued in the Red Sea, bringing the total number of rescues to ten, according to the European Union’s maritime security mission, Operation Aspides. Meanwhile, Houthi leaders have pledged to continue their attacks on shipping as part of their support for the Palestinian cause amidst the conflict involving Israel and Hamas.
The Eternity C, a Liberian-flagged vessel, met its demise following an assault involving several small boats, which Houthis claim was executed using unmanned vessels and missiles. Authorities report that at least two fatalities occurred during the incident. The first strike this week targeted another cargo ship, the Magic Seas, compelling its crew to evacuate.
The recent surge of hostilities marks a significant escalation in the Houthis' 20-month long campaign against shipping routes off Yemen, contradicting a previously announced truce by President Trump aimed at ensuring safe passage through this vital maritime corridor, including the Suez Canal. This renewed violence has reignited tensions in the Red Sea, prompting widespread concerns over maritime navigation and regional stability.
As rescue operations continue, the fate of several crew members from the Eternity C remains unknown. The Houthi group has also reported its own narrative, showcasing a highly-edited video of the sinking, which underscores its military capabilities and resolve to disrupt maritime activity in response to broader geopolitical events impacting Palestinians.
