Maritime security firms launch mission to save crew of Greek vessel hit by Houthis

Maritime security firms launch a mission to evacuate the crew of the Greek-operated Eternity C vessel hit by Houthi rebels off Yemen two days ago, sources close to the mission tell Reuters.

Eternity C, with 22 crew members — 21 Filipinos and one Russian — on board, was attacked with sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades fired from manned speed boats on Monday, the second assault by the Iran-backed Houthis in a day after a months-long lull in attacks on shipping.
