Yemeni Navy sinks ETERNITY C ship

As part of their naval blockade on "Israel" until it stops its war on Gaza,
the Yemeni Armed Forces sank the ETERNITY C ship

which was bound to the occupied Palestinian territories' Umm al-Rashrash
port. The YAF published footage of the sinking.

The video, released by Yemen’s official military media, documented multiple
attempts by the Yemeni Naval Forces to contact the crew of the ETERNITY C
using the ship’s call sign D5DC2, with naval operators informing the
vessel’s captain that rescue boats were en route and that a third ship, the
BARYON, was also available to provide evacuation assistance.

Yemeni authorities stressed that the communication aimed to reassure the
crew that their safety was guaranteed and that they wouldn't face harm if
they complied.

This is the second ship the Yemeni Armed Forces have sunk within days,
after previously targeting the Magic Seas

in the Red Sea with two drone boats, five ballistic and cruise missiles,
and three drones in an attack that directly hit the vessel and left it
completely submerged.
