    Houthi terrorists have bragged about blowing up a 650ft Greek-operated cargo ship as they launch their second attack this week.

    The terror group shared video of the moment its armed militants boarded the Magic Seas ship and set off a series of explosions, causing it to sink in the Red Sea.

    All 22 crew onboard were rescued by a passing merchant vessel before it sank. 

    The Iran-backed Houthis have now claimed responsibility for the assault on another vessel, which maritime officials say killed four of the 25 people aboard.

    The Eternity C cargo ship, also Greek-operated, went down Wednesday morning after it was attacked on two previous days, sources tied to the rescue operation say.

    Rescuers pulled six crew members alive from the Red Sea after spending more than 24 hours in the water, while the fate of another 15 remains unknown. 

    The Houthis, who said they attacked the Eternity C because it was headed to Israel, allegedly kidnapped an unspecified number of crew and are holding the hostages in what they describe as a ‘safe location’.

    The US State Department has condemned both ‘unprovoked Houthi terror attacks’ and vowed to ‘continue to take necessary action’ to de-escalate the ‘ongoing threat’ posed by the terrorists.

    ‘These attacks demonstrate the ongoing threat that Iran-backed Houthi rebels pose to freedom of navigation and to regional economic and maritime security,’ State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce said in a statement obtained by The Daily Mail.

    ‘The United States has been clear: we will continue to take necessary action to protect freedom of navigation and commercial shipping from Houthi terrorist attacks, which must be condemned by all members of the international community.’

    The US Mission in Yemen accused the Houthis of kidnapping many surviving crew members from Eternity C and called for their immediate and unconditional safe release.

    ‘The Yemeni Navy responded to rescue a number of the ship’s crew, provide them with medical care, and transport them to a safe location,’ the group’s military spokesperson said in a televised address.

    The strikes on the two ships revive a campaign by the Iran-aligned fighters who had attacked more than 100 ships from November 2023 to December 2024 in what they said was solidarity with the Palestinians. 

    In May, the US announced a surprise deal with the Houthis where it agreed to stop a bombing campaign against them in return for an end to shipping attacks, though the Houthis said the deal did not include sparing Israel.

    But Yemeni Houthi militia leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi said on Thursday that no company could be permitted to transport goods related to Israel through designated areas at sea.

    He reiterated that a Houthi ban on navigation the group sees as associated with Israel through the Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and the Arabian Sea would remain in place.

    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

    Leading shipping industry associations, including the International Chamber of Shipping and BIMCO, denounced the deadly operation and called for robust maritime security in the region via a joint statement on Wednesday.

    ‘These vessels have been attacked with callous disregard for the lives of innocent civilian seafarers,’ they said.

    ‘This tragedy illuminates the need for nations to maintain robust support in protecting shipping and vital sea lanes.’

    The Eternity C and the Magic Seas both flew Liberia flags and were operated by Greek firms. 

    Some of the sister vessels in each of their wider fleets had made calls to Israeli ports in the past year, shipping data analysis showed.

    ‘We will continue to search for the remaining crew until the last light,’ said an official at Greece-based maritime risk management firm Diaplous.

    The EU’s Aspides naval mission, which protects Red Sea shipping, confirmed in a statement that six people had been pulled from the sea.

    The Red Sea, which passes Yemen’s coast, has long been a critical waterway for the world’s oil and commodities but traffic has dropped sharply since the Houthi attacks began.

    Oil prices rose on Wednesday, maintaining their highest levels since June 23, also due to the recent attacks on ships in the Red Sea.

    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.

    Two security sources told Reuters that the vessel was hit again with sea drones on Tuesday, forcing the crew and armed guards to abandon it. 

    The Houthis stayed with the vessel until the early hours of Wednesday, one of the sources said.

    Skiffs were in the area as rescue efforts were underway.

    The crew comprised 21 Filipinos and one Russian. Three armed guards were also on board, including one Greek and one Indian, who was one of those rescued.

    The vessel’s operator, Cosmoship Management, has not responded to requests for confirmation of casualties or injuries. If confirmed, the four reported deaths would be the first fatalities from attacks on shipping in the Red Sea since June 2024.

    Greece has been in talks with Saudi Arabia, a key player in the region, over the latest incident, according to sources.
