Its last recorded position, according to the tracking site Marine Traffic, was on Monday near the Yemeni port of Hudeydah, controlled by the Houthi rebel group.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"> Vanguard says the bulk carrier Eternity C\u2019s stern was submerged before it completely sank. Four crew members died during the attack and five have been rescued from the water. A search and rescue operation for the remaining 16 crew is under way. No-one was onboard the ship before it sank.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The vessel was attacked on four separate occasions between 7 and 8 July by up to eight small boats with rocket-propelled grenades, small weapons and unmanned aerial vehicles, according to Vanguard Tech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Yemen\u2019s Houthi militia hasn\u2019t yet said it carried out the attack but similar tactics have been used by the group against ships in the Red Sea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">According to Lloyd\u2019s List, the Eternity C was transporting soybeans to the Saudi port of Jeddah and is the second ship to have sunk this week after coming under attack. Yesterday, Yemeni Military Media &#8211; a propaganda channel of the Houthis &#8211; released a five-minute video and photographs claiming to be of the capture and sinking of the Magic Seas, another Liberian-flagged bulk carrier.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">BBC Verify has contacted the ship\u2019s owner, Cosmo Ship Management, and we will post an update when more information becomes available. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Second vessel sinks in Red Sea after apparent Houthi attackpublished at 14:10 British Summer Time 9 July 14:10&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":250789,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7654],"tags":[2000,299,657],"class_list":{"0":"post-261670","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ukraine","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-ukraine"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114846169035461105","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261670","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=261670"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/261670\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/250789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=261670"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=261670"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=261670"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
