Yemen Navy sinks ETERNITY C ship, shares footage of operation
The Yemeni Armed Forces released video footage on Wednesday confirming the successful targeting and sinking of the ETERNITY C, a commercial vessel headed toward the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat), on July 9, 2025. The video, shared by the official Yemeni military media outlet, documents multiple communications made by the Yemeni Naval Forces to the ETERNITY C's crew. Using the ship's call-sign D5DC2, naval operators attempted to contact the vessel's captain, informing him that rescue boats were en route and that a third vessel, the BARYON, was also available to provide evacuation assistance. The footage captured only a single response, in which the ship's captain confirmed the vessel's identity. #WATCH | Footage released by the Yemeni military media shows the targeting and sinking of the ETERNITY C vessel as it was heading toward the port of Umm al-Rashrash in occupied # video featured the ship's crew failing to comply with Yemeni navy directions, and the… officials emphasized that the communication was meant to assure the crew that their lives were not in danger and that they would not be harmed if they cooperated. The video then shows the launch of multiple naval ballistic missiles from various locations. The footage includes ground-based angles as well as aerial views via drone, capturing the moment of impact as several explosions rocked the vessel. Plumes of smoke and debris engulfed the ship, with follow-up drone footage revealing extensive structural damage. Later scenes showed the ship's hull to have been breached and taking on water as it gradually sank beneath the surface. The ETERNITY C strike comes just days after Ansar Allah issued renewed warnings to all shipping companies operating routes to Israeli ports, declaring that any such vessels, along with their crews, would be considered legitimate targets unless they cease violating the maritime ban. The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Wednesday the execution of a naval military operation that targeted the cargo ship ETERNITY C as it made its way to the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat). The attack was carried out using a drone boat and six cruise missiles. According to a statement by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, the ship disregarded repeated warnings from the Yemeni navy prohibiting entry into ports of occupied Palestine. As a result, the vessel was struck and subsequently sank. The statement confirmed that members of the ship's crew were rescued, given medical care, and transferred to a safe location. The operation was fully documented with audio and video footage. The Yemeni Armed Forces described the operation as part of their ongoing efforts to support the Palestinian people and their resistance, emphasizing that they will continue to disrupt Israeli maritime traffic in the Red and Arabian seas. They reiterated their warnings to international companies and governments cooperating with the 'Israeli' occupation, stressing their concern for civilian safety while firmly stating: 'We warn these companies against engaging with the ports of occupied Palestine. Their ships and crews will be considered legitimate targets in any location.' The statement also reasserted that the stance of Sana'a is aimed at forcing the Zionist entity and its allies to lift the siege on Gaza and halt their aggression. It concluded by affirming that military operations will continue and intensify in support of the Palestinian cause and its defenders. This is the second ship the Yemeni Armed Forces have sunk within a matter of days. Previously, they targeted the Magic Seas vessel in the Red Sea using two drone boats, five ballistic and cruise missiles, and three drones. The ship was directly hit and fully submerged.

Sana'a sinks two ships, moving battle deeper into enemy's naval supply lines in support of Gaza
Sana'a – Saba: In a continuing qualitative escalation, the Yemeni Armed Forces have expanded the scope of their naval operations, announcing within two days the sinking of two ships belonging to foreign companies that had dealt with the ports of the Zionist entity. This step represents a qualitative shift in the course of the open battle in support of Gaza. The expansion of the Yemeni naval response represents a direct extension of the escalating aggression against Gaza. Sana'a has moved to an advanced stage of escalation, pushing the front line deeper into the sea, transforming the shipping lanes linked to the occupation into an open operational field, as part of a precise strategy aimed at breaking the siege and easing the pressure on Palestinians in Gaza. The sinking of the ship "Magic Seas" marked a turning point in the Yemeni response, as warnings turned into decisive action. The operation marked the first concentrated naval strike targeting the enemy's logistical support lines, which continues to commit daily massacres against civilians in Gaza and relies on sea lanes to finance its aggression and maintain its siege. With the same momentum, the ship "ETERNITY C" was sunk while en route to the port of Umm al-Rashrash, in a concentrated strike carried out with cruise and ballistic missiles and a drone boat. This second strike, carried out within hours, established the principle of directly targeting every supply line serving the occupation, as part of an escalating trend that goes beyond warnings to demonstrate the ability and effectiveness of the response in disrupting the enemy's logistical support. The escalation of these operations comes amid continuing Israeli crimes against civilians in Gaza. As the scope of the genocide expands, the Yemeni position intensifies. This stance, which is not content with condemnation or statements, is also advancing with direct military action, in a clear effort to support the Palestinians on various fronts. Official statements issued by the armed forces linked the targeting of ships to the ongoing aggression and blockade imposed on the Gaza Strip. The statements emphasized that every ship operating in the occupied ports falls within the scope of legitimate targeting, and that operations will continue until the massacres cease and restrictions on the besieged Strip are lifted. The nature of the operations and their chronology indicate that the Yemeni military decision-making process is guided by a clear strategic plan, which begins with monitoring targets, then issuing warnings, and then proceeds to implementation when a violation is proven. This model reflects an organized field capability that responds to the worsening humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the deterioration of regional and international positions. In contrast to this organized field performance, the map of international positions is unfolding. The major powers continue to provide political and military cover for the occupation, directly contributing to prolonging the Zionist aggression on Gaza, while a broad Arab silence provides additional room for escalation of crimes. In this context, the Yemeni front is emerging as one of the few practical paths in the region that is truly taking the initiative and clearly contributing to undermining the occupation's capabilities, based on a firm, principled commitment to Palestine, independent of any temporary calculations or external balance considerations. Amid this international impotence and blatant complicity, the humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening to unprecedented levels. More than two million Palestinians are subjected to a stifling blockade and the direct targeting of infrastructure, health facilities, and civilian facilities. This is one of the most heinous documented mass crimes in contemporary history, perpetrated by the Zionist war machine without pause or accountability. Analysts confirm that Sana'a has taken the lead in direct action against the aggression on Gaza, through organized field operations paid for by entities linked to the occupation. These operations effectively impact its maritime and commercial routes, increasing the cost of the war waged by the entity on the Strip without pause. These results are evident in the images of the war media, which accurately documented the sinking of the Magic Seas ship, demonstrating professionalism in execution and clarity of purpose. Yemeni strikes are no longer mere reactions, but rather strategic tools that strike at the heart of the enemy's interests and impose mounting costs on it at multiple levels. The Hebrew media, in its coverage, expressed increasing concern about these operations and attempted to isolate them from their true context related to Gaza. However, the photographic documentation and the timing of the attacks reaffirmed the close relationship between the Yemeni operations and popular support for the Palestinian resistance. The Yemeni position has not changed since the beginning of the escalation. Rather, it has evolved from warning strikes to painful strikes, effectively disrupting some shipping lines linked to the occupation and presenting international companies with a new equation: either stop supporting the enemy or enter the realm of direct threat. Political observers believe that the field effects of these operations do not stop at the Red Sea borders, but extend to the Palestinian interior, where they provide the resistance in Gaza with strong field and moral support, redistribute pressure on the occupation, and disrupt its strategy in managing the battle. With the sinking of ships and the expansion of naval strikes, Sanaa is charting a different course in supporting Gaza, based on direct action and field costs, at a time when the oil regimes are hiding behind gray positions. This is a clear practical message that the time for abandonment is over, and that the Palestinian cause still produces those who will defend it in action, not words, and who will pay the cost of support from their own field without waiting for permission or authorization.

Houthis Sink Cargo Vessel ETERNITY C in Red Sea (VIDEO)
Taarek Refaat The strategic waterways of the Red Sea have once again become a flashpoint of regional conflict following a deadly attack on the Liberian-flagged cargo ship ETERNITY C. Yesterday, Houthi rebel forces launched a sophisticated assault on the vessel, using a combination of drone boats and guided missile strikes, leading to the eventual sinking of the ship and significant casualties among its crew. The attack occurred roughly 50 nautical miles southwest of the Yemeni port city of Hodeidah, a known Houthi stronghold. According to multiple verified sources, the assault began with an unmanned explosive boat targeting the vessel's hull, followed by precision-guided missiles that disabled the ship's engine and critical communication systems. The crew's attempts to control the damage failed, and as the vessel started to take on water, the captain ordered an emergency evacuation. Despite rescue efforts, at least three crew members lost their lives, with several others sustaining severe injuries, including one sailor who reportedly lost a leg. Survivors were rescued from the water by nearby vessels and local fishing boats. The ETERNITY C, owned by a Greek shipping company, ultimately sank in the early hours of July 9, marking one of the deadliest maritime incidents in the Red Sea in recent years. The Houthi movement, officially known as Ansar Allah, publicly claimed responsibility for the attack. They released a video documenting the operation, showcasing their use of unmanned maritime drones and ballistic missiles. The group justified the strike as part of their broader campaign against vessels heading to Israeli ports, pledging to target any ship linked to Israel 'regardless of nationality.' This declaration underscores a marked shift in the conflict's maritime dimension, as the Houthis intensify their naval capabilities to disrupt international shipping lanes, particularly those connected to Israel. This attack comes on the heels of another recent assault on the cargo vessel Magic Seas, signaling a troubling escalation in Houthi naval aggression. The Red Sea, a vital corridor for global trade linking Europe, Asia, and Africa via the Suez Canal, faces increasing risks that threaten to disrupt international shipping and economic stability. In response, maritime insurance premiums for vessels transiting the Red Sea have surged, with coverage costs rising from 0.4% to nearly 1% of a ship's value. Shipping companies are weighing the risks of rerouting, which could increase transit times and costs substantially. International actors including the United States, the European Union, and the United Nations have condemned the attacks, viewing them as grave threats to freedom of navigation and global commerce. Discussions of a coordinated multinational naval patrol to secure the Red Sea are reportedly underway. The attack on ETERNITY C coincides with heightened tensions across the Middle East, particularly amid ongoing hostilities involving Israel and Palestinian factions. The Houthis' explicit linkage of their maritime operations to the Israeli conflict signals a widening of the regional proxy wars into maritime domains. Analysts warn that without effective diplomatic engagement and enhanced maritime security measures, the Red Sea could become a permanent theater of conflict, jeopardizing the critical supply chains that millions rely upon. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean

VIDEO - Houthis claim recent Red Sea attack on ship
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis claimed responsibility Wednesday for a deadly attack earlier this week that sank a merchant vessel – the second ship to be hit in less than 24 hours as the group resumes their campaign in the key waterway. "The naval force of the Yemeni Armed Forces targeted the ship (ETERNITY C)," Huthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said, claiming solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza and saying the vessel was headed towards Eilat in 'Israel'.
