Yemen’s Houthis release footage of soldiers boarding, sinking ship

The Houthis in Yemen have aired footage of their attack on the Liberian-flagged, Greek-owned Magic Seas, a cargo ship they sank after their special forces boarded it.

The group, which said the ship was attacked on Sunday because it had conducted business with Israeli ports, said its crew refused to heed warnings before it was hit with unmanned explosives-rigged boats. The crew was safely evacuated to Djibouti by a passing ship before Houthi soldiers blew it up with planted explosives.

The Houthis also attacked the Eternity C bulk carrier on Monday in the Red Sea, which according to the European Union’s naval mission Aspides killed three crew members and wounded two.

These were the first major naval attacks in the Red Sea since late 2024, and the deaths on the Eternity C constituted the first since June 2024.

Israeli army strikes another vehicle in southern Lebanon

The Israeli military launched another attack on a vehicle in Lebanon, this time in the town of Babliyah in the southern part of the country.

The National News Agency reported two missiles were fired at the vehicle and drones continue to hover at low altitudes. Drone activity was also reported over Hermel in the south.

As we reported earlier, the Israeli army killed three people and wounded others in a strike on a car in northern Lebanon’s Tripoli that targeted a Hamas commander.
