US accuses Houthis of kidnapping crew of cargo ship in Red Sea this week

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The US embassy accuses Yemen’s Houthi rebels of kidnapping crew members from the Eternity C during their deadly attack on the cargo vessel in the Red Sea earlier this week.

“After killing their shipmates, sinking their ship and hampering rescue efforts, the Houthi terrorists have kidnapped many surviving crew members of the Eternity C. We call for their immediate and unconditional safe release,” the embassy says in a statement on X.
