Houthi rebels sank a second cargo ship, the Eternity C, in the Red Sea within a week, killing at least three and leaving 19 missing. The Liberian-flagged vessel, carrying 25 crew, was attacked with rocket-propelled grenades. Six crew members were rescued. The Houthis claimed the ship was bound for Israel. This follows a similar attack on the Magic Seas, all of whose crew were rescued. The US embassy condemned the Houthi actions and called for the release of kidnapped crew members. International search and rescue operations are underway.
