On 7 July 2025, the Houthis attacked MV Eternity C, a Liberia-flagged bulk carrier, in the southern Red Sea on route from Berbera, Somalia, where it has been delivering aid. The vessel was assaulted with sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades and was seriously damaged. The attacks killed, injured, or resulted in the kidnapping more than 25 Filipino, Greek, and Russian crew members. The vessel was abandoned and sank shortly after the attacks. Four people have been confirmed killed. Ten crew members were rescued, five others were reported missing, and six were kidnapped.[1]
The Houthis stated they attacked Eternity C because the vessel's operator continues to make port visits to Israel with other ships,[2] and that they took an unspecified number of crew to a "safe location", although the United States stated the Houthis had taken the crew hostage.[3] The vessel is registered in Monrovia, and owned and managed by Cosmo Ship Management of Athens, Greece.[4]
During the same period, the merchant ship Magic Seas was hijacked and sunk by the Houthis after an attack.
