Video: Houthi rebels sink cargo ship Eternity C in Red Sea

Yemen’s Houthi rebels have released footage of an attack on the Eternity C vessel in the Red Sea.

At least four people have been killed and many other crew kidnapped after Houthi rebels sank the cargo ship in the Red Sea, authorities have said.

Eternity C was first attacked on Monday afternoon with sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades fired from speed boats by suspected Houthi militants, maritime security sources said. Lifeboats were destroyed during the raid.

By Tuesday morning the vessel was adrift and listing, before being attacked again which forced the crew to abandon it. The ship sank on Wednesday morning.
