Video Shows Houthis Sinking the Magic Seas Cargo Ship

Houthi rebels in Yemen have released propaganda footage that appears to show the Greek-flagged bulk carrier M/V Magic Seas sinking in the Red Sea following an attack on July 6.

The video, widely shared on social media, shows the militants hailing the vessel over VHF radio before launching an assault, boarding the ship, and later detonating explosives planted on the hull.

Despite the severity of the incident, all 22 crew members on board were successfully rescued by another merchant vessel passing through the area. The rescue operation was coordinated by the EU naval mission EUNAVFOR ATALANTA and the UK Maritime Trade Operations. All crew members safely disembarked in Djibouti.
