Iran-backed Houthi rebels have sunk a second Greek-operated cargo ship, Eternity C, in the Red Sea within a week, leaving 11 crew members missing and 4 feared dead. The vessel, targeted with sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades, was attacked twice before sinking. Ten people, including 8 Filipinos, 1 Indian, and 1 Greek security guard, were rescued—some after over 48 hours in water. The Houthis claim the attack supports Palestinians amid the Gaza war. The U.S. accused them of kidnapping survivors and demanded their release. The incident marks a deadly escalation in maritime aggression since their campaign began in November 2023. (PC: NDTV)
