Hell on the Red Sea: Greek Ship “Eternity” Sinks After Brutal Houthi Attack!
Have you heard about the latest maritime nightmare in the Red Sea? The Greek cargo ship “Eternity” was utterly destroyed in an attack that’s rare in its brutality! Four crew members are dead, seven rescued, and a staggering 14 are still missing. Yes, you read that right – 14 missing!
How Did This Happen?
It all started on Monday afternoon when the Houthis from Yemen, notorious for their ruthless attacks, launched an assault on the ship using sea drones and rocket grenades fired from a speedboat. Drones and rockets on the sea! The ship was flying the Liberian flag, but that didn’t save the crew from disaster.
The attack destroyed the lifeboats, and the ship was so badly damaged that by Tuesday morning it began to sink. The crew spent over 24 hours in the water before being rescued. Among them were 21 Filipinos, one Russian, and three armed guards, including a Greek and an Indian. One of the Indians was among the survivors.
Why Is This Happening?
Attacks on ships in the Red Sea have become frequent since November last year, when the Houthis started targeting vessels passing through this crucial maritime corridor. Why? Allegedly in solidarity with the Palestinians. A war at sea fueled by politics and ideology, with innocent sailors paying the price.
Who’s Responsible and What’s Being Done?
Greek authorities are negotiating with Saudi Arabia to resolve the aftermath of this incident, while fears linger that some crew members may have been kidnapped or jumped into the sea in panic. The Red Sea is a vital transport route for oil and other goods, making this conflict a serious threat to the global economy.
What’s Next?
This isn’t the first time such horrors have unfolded. Just days ago, another ship, the “Magical Mara,” was attacked and sank, but its entire crew was rescued. These attacks have become so frequent that the question is – who’s next?
Conclusion
While the world watches, the Houthis continue to terrorize maritime routes, and innocent people pay the price. Will the international community finally act, or will we watch the Red Sea turn into a war zone?
