Greek Ship Sunk by Terrorists in Shocking Video

The Red Sea is now a war zone.

In a terrifying escalation of maritime terrorism, Iranian-backed Houthi rebels have taken credit for sinking two commercial cargo ships in a single week—killing at least four people, taking hostages, and releasing video of the explosive assaults to flaunt their growing reach.

The first target, Magic Seas, a Greek-operated, 650-foot Liberian-flagged cargo vessel, was stormed by masked Houthi militants on Sunday. In a dramatic propaganda video released by the group, armed men can be seen boarding the ship and detonating explosives. The ship went down fast.

All 22 crew members were miraculously rescued by a nearby merchant vessel before the ship slipped beneath the waves.

But just two days later, the Eternity C wasn’t so lucky.

Also operated by a Greek firm and flagged in Liberia, the second ship was attacked over three consecutive days—first by sea drones and RPGs launched from Houthi speedboats on Monday, then again on Tuesday. By Wednesday, the Eternity C had taken fatal damage and sank off Yemen’s coast.

Only six survivors have been pulled from the Red Sea. Four bodies have been recovered. The remaining 15 crew members are either missing or in enemy hands.

“We will search until the last light,” said an official from the Greek maritime security company Diaplous.

The U.S. State Department condemned the “unprovoked Houthi terror attacks” and confirmed the group is holding crew members hostage in what it calls a “safe location.”

“These attacks demonstrate the ongoing threat that Iran-backed Houthi rebels pose to freedom of navigation and to regional economic and maritime security,” said State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce. “We will continue to take necessary action.”

Yemen’s Houthi military spokesman doubled down, declaring that any vessels suspected of ties to Israel would be targeted—regardless of flag or origin.

Shipping industry leaders are furious. In a joint statement, the International Chamber of Shipping and BIMCO said, “These vessels have been attacked with callous disregard for the lives of innocent civilian seafarers. This tragedy demands an international response.”

The Eternity C was reportedly hit with six hypersonic missiles and a bomb-laden drone boat. Survivors were forced to abandon ship and cling to life in open water for over 24 hours. One Indian and one Greek security guard are among the few confirmed survivors.

Both ships were en route through the Red Sea—one of the world’s most vital trade corridors, now paralyzed by fear. Since November 2023, over 100 ships have been attacked in what the Houthis call a “solidarity campaign” with Palestinians.

Oil prices spiked following the latest attacks, with fears of broader regional instability mounting.

Though the U.S. struck a temporary ceasefire deal with the Houthis in May, promising to halt airstrikes in exchange for an end to maritime attacks, the rebels now claim Israel was never part of that deal—and that Israeli-linked vessels remain fair game.

President Trump, who has vowed to restore “peace through strength” in the region, is expected to address the crisis in the coming days.

Meanwhile, the sea claims more lives, and the world watches as a well-armed insurgent force wages war on the high seas.
