<p>The Yemeni Armed Forces released video footage on Wednesday
confirming the successful targeting and sinking of the ETERNITY C, a
commercial vessel headed toward the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash
(Eilat), on July 9, 2025.</p>
<p>The video, shared by the official Yemeni military media outlet,
documents multiple communications made by the Yemeni Naval Forces to the
<a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/yemeni-armed-forces-sink--eternity-c--for-violating-israeli" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ETERNITY C</a>\u2019s
crew. Using the ship\u2019s call-sign D5DC2, naval operators attempted to
contact the vessel\u2019s captain, informing him that rescue boats were en
route and that a third vessel, the BARYON, was also available to provide
evacuation assistance. The footage captured only a single response, in
which the ship\u2019s captain confirmed the vessel\u2019s identity.</p>
<p>Yemeni officials emphasized that the communication was meant to
assure the crew that their lives were not in danger and that they would
not be harmed if they cooperated.</p>
<p>The video then shows the launch of multiple naval ballistic missiles
from various locations. The footage includes ground-based angles as well
as aerial views via drone, capturing the moment of impact as several
explosions rocked the vessel. Plumes of smoke and debris engulfed the
ship, with follow-up drone footage revealing extensive structural
damage.</p>
<p>Later scenes showed the ship\u2019s hull to have been breached and taking on water as it gradually sank beneath the surface.</p>
<p>The ETERNITY C strike comes just days after Ansar Allah issued
renewed warnings to all shipping companies operating routes to Israeli
ports, declaring that any such vessels, along with their crews, would be
considered legitimate targets unless they cease violating the maritime
ban.</p>
<h2>Yemen announces sinking ETERNITY C</h2>
<p>The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Wednesday the execution of a naval military operation that targeted the cargo ship<span> </span><em>ETERNITY C</em><span> </span>as
it made its way to the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat). The
attack was carried out using a drone boat and six cruise missiles.</p>
<p>According to a statement by Brigadier General Yahya Saree,
spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, the ship disregarded repeated
warnings from the Yemeni navy prohibiting entry into ports of occupied
Palestine. As a result, the vessel was struck and subsequently sank.</p>
<p>The statement confirmed that members of the ship\u2019s crew were rescued,
given medical care, and transferred to a safe location. The operation
was fully documented with audio and video footage.</p>
<p>The Yemeni Armed Forces described the operation as part of their
ongoing efforts to support the Palestinian people and their resistance,
emphasizing that they will continue to disrupt Israeli maritime traffic
in the Red and Arabian seas.</p>
<p>They reiterated their warnings to international companies and
governments cooperating with the \u201cIsraeli\u201d occupation, stressing their
concern for civilian safety while firmly stating:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>\u201cWe warn these companies against engaging with the ports of occupied
Palestine. Their ships and crews will be considered legitimate targets
in any location.\u201d</p>
</blockquote>
<h2>Second ship sunk in says as operations escalate</h2>
<p>The statement also reasserted that the stance of Sana\u2019a is aimed at
forcing the Zionist entity and its allies to lift the siege on Gaza and
halt their aggression. It concluded by affirming that military
operations will continue and intensify in support of the Palestinian
cause and its defenders.</p>
<p>This is the second ship the Yemeni Armed Forces have sunk within a matter of days. Previously,<span> </span><a href="https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/sanaa-shares-footage-of-israeli-linked-magic-seas-vessel-sin">they targeted the Magic Seas vessel</a> in
the Red Sea using two drone boats, five ballistic and cruise missiles,
and three drones. The ship was directly hit and fully submerged.</p></div></div></div>
