Houthis claim responsibility for sinking Greek ship, say Yemen ‘rescued’ ship crew

CAIRO: Yemen’s Houthis said on Wednesday they had sunk a Greek-operated, Liberia-flagged vessel called Eternity C in the Red Sea, the second ship that the Houthis has attacked this week after months of calm.

“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.
