Search called off for crew of Houthi-hit Eternity C ship, maritime agencies say
Maritime agencies Diaplous and Ambrey said on Sunday they had ended their search for the remaining crew of the Eternity C cargo ship that was attacked by Yemens Houthi militants last week. The decision was made at the request of the vessels owner, both agencies said. The Liberia-flagged, Greek-operated Eternity C sank on Wednesday morning following attacks over two consecutive days, according to sources at security companies involved in the rescue operation. Ten of the ships complement of 22 crew and three guards were rescued. The remaining 15 are considered missing, including five who are believed to be dead, maritime security sources said. The Houthis said they had rescued some of the crew. The crew included 21 Filipinos and one Russian. Three armed guards were also on board, including one Greek and one Indian, who were both rescued. 'The decision to end the search has been taken by the vessels Owner reluctantly but it believes that, in all the circumstances, the priority must now be to get the 10 souls safely recovered alive ashore,' maritime risk management firm Diaplous and British security firm Ambrey said in a joint statement. The Houthis also claimed responsibility for a similar assault last Sunday targeting another ship, the Magic Seas. All crew from the Magic Seas were rescued before it sank. The strikes on the two ships marked a resumption of a campaign by the Iran-aligned fighters who attacked more than 100 ships from November 2023 to December 2024 in what they said was solidarity with the Palestinians.

Rape conviction for father of Colombian kids rescued in jungle
FILE - Manuel Ranoque, the father of two of the youngest Indigenous children who survived an Amazon plane crash, gives an interview in Bogota, Colombia, June 14, 2023. (AP Photo/Fernando Vergara, File) BOGOTA, Colombia — The father of two of the four Indigenous children who survived 40 days in the Amazon after a 2023 plane crash was convicted of raping a minor, a Colombian prosecution official told AFP on Monday. The official said Manuel Ranoque, who risks 20 years in prison, will be sentenced in the coming days. The siblings -- aged one to 13 at the time -- were the only survivors of a jungle plane crash in May 2023 that killed the three adults onboard, including their mother. The search for the kids captivated the world. The oldest daughter was credited with keeping her siblings alive until their spectacular rescue some three miles (five kilometres) from the crash site. The children's survival and the dramatic rescue effort involving soldiers and Indigenous trackers is the subject of books, movies, and a Netflix documentary. Ranoque was instrumental in the search operation, but was arrested a few months after the children were found alive and well. He is the father of the two youngest of the four children, and stepfather to the other two.
