Houthi rebels sink Greek ship in Red Sea
A Houthi attack has sunk a Greek ship in the Red Sea, killing and kidnapping crew, marking a major escalation in the region's maritime crisis.

Four crew members have been rescued after spending more than 48 hours in the Red Sea, following the sinking of the Greek vessel Eternity C by Houthi militants.
The attack, which took place earlier this week, left at least four crew members dead and six others kidnapped, according to maritime security sources cited by The Guardian and The Jerusalem Post on Thursday.
The Houthis first attacked the ship on Monday with bombs, unmanned boats at sea, and rocket-propelled grenades from speedboats. A second attack on Tuesday night forced the crew to abandon ship and jump into the sea.
Three Filipinos and a Russian were killed in the attacks.
Rescue operations began on Wednesday morning, with a total of 10 survivors found so far, including eight Filipino crew members, one Indian, and a Greek security guard. There were 25 crew members on board when the ship was attacked.
The four crew members rescued on Thursday endured nearly 48 hours in dangerous conditions. Eleven remain missing, including six who are believed to have been kidnapped by Houthi forces, according to both The Guardian and The Jerusalem Post.
The Houthis have claimed responsibility for the attack, saying they were showing solidarity with the Palestinians and intended to pressure Israel to end its war in Gaza. The group has threatened further attacks on Israel-linked vessels, breaking a ceasefire deal with the US in May.
The latest incident ends a period of relative calm, and the sinking of the Eternity C is the first time in more than a year that crew members have been killed by Houthi attacks.
The Red Sea handles around a third of global container traffic and has seen a sharp decline in activity over security concerns over the past 18 months.
Ellie Shafik, head of intelligence at security firm Vanguard Tech, told The Guardian: “We remain deeply concerned for the welfare of the crew members in the custody of the Houthis, as well as for those currently unaccounted for. Their safety and swift release must be a priority for all involved.”
The US mission in Yemen has condemned the kidnappings and demanded the immediate release of the crew.
