Maritime security firms launched a mission to rescue the crew of the Greek-operated cargo ship Eternity C, which was attacked and sunk by Yemen's Houthi militants in the Red Sea. The European Naval Force in the Red Sea rescued six crew members from the Liberian-flagged vessel. However, six of the 22 crew are believed to be held captive by the Houthis. The Houthi leader, Abdul Malik al-Houthi, reiterated a ban on shipping goods related to Israel through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden, and Arabian Sea, warning maritime companies against transporting Israeli-related cargo. The search for additional survivors was called off at the owner's request after 10 crew members, including eight Filipinos and two security guards (one Russian), were rescued and taken to Saudi Arabia. Nine crew members are now confirmed or presumed dead. Following the attacks, some commercial ships have begun broadcasting crew nationality and religion via tracking systems to avoid targeting by the Houthis. Yemeni officials reaffirmed their commitment to a ceasefire with the U.S., stating there is no indication that Ansar Allah has violated the agreement or plans to resume attacks on U.S. shipping in the region.
