Houthis release crew of Greek-operated cargo ship struck in Red Sea

The crew of the Greek-operated cargo ship Eternity C, which sank in the Red Sea in July after being attacked by Yemen's Houthis, have been released, an

official with the ship's operator and a maritime security source told Reuters on Wednesday.



The crew of the Liberia-flagged Eternity C abandoned the ship before it sank following repeated strikes by the Iran-aligned militants with sea drones and rocket-propelled grenades.



Rescuers pulled crew members alive from the Red Sea and Houthis later said they were holding a group of the seafarers, including one security guard.



The United States Mission in Yemen had accused the Houthis of kidnapping them and called for their immediate and unconditional safe release.
