On July 7, the Yemeni army attacked the Eternity C bulk carrier 51 nautical miles west of Hudaydah in the Red Sea, using six USVs along with six ballistic and cruise missiles.

This is the second Israeli-affiliated ship to be sunk in the last 48 hours!
The ETERNITY C was en route to the port of Umm al-Rishrah (Eilat) in southern occupied Palestine when it was targeted.
Reports indicate that Yemeni USVs or cruise missile strike resulted in two crew members killed, two injured, and several missing. The UK Maritime Trade Organization (UKMTO) reported that five crew members were rescued, and search and rescue operations for the ship’s crew started last night. Efforts to locate the remaining individuals are still in progress.
However, it seems that Yemeni Navy special forces rescued some of the ship’s crew. Brigadier General Yahya Saree stated: “A team of Yemeni Navy special forces assisted in rescuing some crew members, providing medical care, and transferring them to a safe location.”
The ship was targeted after its owner’s company breached the ban on trade with Israel by restarting operations at Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat) port. The attack happened following multiple calls and warnings from the Yemeni navy that the crew ignored.
The Yemeni armed forces reaffirmed their commitment to ongoing operations against the Israeli regime and maintained the ban on sailing for Israeli-affiliated ships in the Red and Arabian Seas until the Gaza conflict ends.
This operation marks the 214th military action carried out by the Yemeni army against illegal ships associated with Israel, the United States, and Britain in the region
