On the evening of July 9th, local time, a spokesperson for the Houthi military in Yemen, Yalai Sareya, announced that the Houthi armed forces launched an attack using a drone-equipped speedboat and six missiles against the “ETERNITY C” vessel, which violated their navigation ban and was heading to Eilat in Israel. The attack succeeded in hitting its target, resulting in the sinking of the vessel.
Following the attack, the Houthi armed forces rescued some crew members and transported them to safe areas. This marks the second cargo ship they have sunk within a week due to violations of their navigation ban. (Report by Zhang Yuchen, CCTV)
