Search for survivors continued, passing ships asked to assist

The Houthi terrorists were believed to be holding six of the 'Eternity C’s complement of 22 crew and three guards. On July 10 the rescuers have pulled three more crew members and a security guard alive from the Red Sea waters, where the bulk carrier was sunk. They said the Houthi militants were holding some of the crew who were still missing. “These are blameless victims who were simply doing their job. Seafarers should be able to work safely at sea. Instead, they are being unfairly forced into the firing line,” the UK-based Seafarers’ Charity association said. Four crew members were believed to have been killed in the attacks. The 'Eternity C' was first hit on July 7 with sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades fired from speed boats. Following a second attack on the morning of July 8, the crew members were forced to jump into the water. Rescuers have been searching for survivors since the morning of July 9. A total of 10 survivors have been rescued so far, among them eight Filipino crew members, one Indian national and one Greek security guard. The four people rescued on the morning of July 10 had spent nearly 48 hours in the water. The search for survivors was to be continued until all persons have been accounted for. 11 people were still missing. All ships passing the area have been asked to assist in the search. The vessel’s operator, Cosmoship Management, said the ship had delivered a cargo for the UN World Food Program to Berbera and was sailing in ballast condition to Jeddah for refueling at the time of the attack.

10 crew members rescued, others thought to have been kidnapped by Houthi terrorists

The U.S. Embassy in Yemen has now confirmed that several crew members from the 'Eternity C', which sunk in the Red Sea after being attacked by the Iranian-backed Houthis, have been kidnapped to Yemen by the terrorists. The U.S. called for their immediate and unconditional safe release, with the Houthis continuing to show the world why they were labeled a terrorist organization by the United States. The European Union naval mission in the Red Sea, 'Aspides,' confirmed on July 10 the rescue of 10 crew members from the 'Eternity C,' Part of the crew died and another was held captive by Yemeni militia. The rescueoperation continued into the early hours of July 10, with the "Aspides" mission successfully rescuing three Filipino crew member and a Greek member of the international rescue team. This, combined with a previous rescue operation, brought the total number of people rescued after the attack to ten. For his part, Houthi military spokesman Yahya Sari stated that, following the attack, they had "rescued several crew members, provided medical care," and transferred them "to a safe place." Following a similar rocket-propelled grenade attack that sank the bulk carrier 'Magic Seas' the day before, the Operation Atalanta, the European Union's naval mission to combat piracy in the Indian Ocean, intervened to rescue the 22 crew members. The Houthis claimed responsibility for the attack on the vessel, which they said was en route to the port of Umm al-Rashrash. According to the Houthis, the vessel was struck with an unmanned boat and six ballistic and cruise missiles. One missile struck the cargo hold closest to the ship’s superstructure, creating a hole in the cargo hold with damage extending to the bridge. Two other holes were visible on the vessel’s hull near the waterline. The vessel eventually sannk stern-first with an inflated life raft visible nearby. A Houthi special forces unit was allegedly deployed post-strike to rescue some of the crew members, provide medical care, and transport them to shore. The terrorists claimed the strike was carried out after the ship’s operators resumed dealings with Israeli ports and ignored direct warnings from the Houthis. Following the sinking of the 'Magic Seas', the bulk carrier now has become the fourth ship to have been sunk by the Houthi terrorists since the escalation began, after the 'Rubymar' and the 'Tutor'.
