Recently, the security situation in the Red Sea has deteriorated sharply, merchant ships have been attacked one after another, and several Red Sea ports have also been subjected to air strikes...

On the evening of the 8th local time, Houthi militants' leaders said that the maritime attacks launched by the Houthi militants are only targeted at Israel, as well as targets related to Israel and support Israel. The Houthi militants will not attack unrelated ships.

The day before, Yemen's Houthi military spokesman Yehaiya Sareya issued a statement saying that the Houthi armed forces attacked the Magic Seas, the ship "magic ocean" that violated the Houthi navigation ban, and successfully hit the target.

At the same time, the Yemeni Houthi armed group released a video of sinking the "Magic Seas" cargo ship on the Red Sea on the 8th.Video shows the Greek bulk carrier "Magic Seas" sank in the Red Sea after the July 6 attack.

It was reported that the ship was transporting iron and fertilizer from China to Türkiye at that time and departed from Zhuhai, China on June 11.While sailing in the Red Sea near the province of Hodeida in western Yemen, it was attacked for four hours, including "artillery fire and rocket-propelled grenades from speedboats, as well as sea drones and missiles."

In the video, Houthi forces signaled the ship, eventually attacking the crew and boarded the ship after they abandoned it.The explosives installed on the hull were then detonated, causing a lot of water to splash, and the ship then sank underwater.The sinking of the Magic Seas marks the third merchant ship that has sunk since Houthi forces began targeting merchant ships in November 2023.The attack was also the first merchant ship targeted in the Red Sea since December 2024.

On July 8, local time, Yemeni officials said that the Houthi armed forces attacked another cargo ship "Eternity C" operated by Greek shipping company in the Red Sea on the evening of the 7th, killing three crew members and injuring two.This is also the first time that the Houthi attack on Red Sea merchant ships has killed people since June 2024.

This month, Houthi forces suspended attacks on Red Sea merchant ships and reached a ceasefire agreement with the United States in May.The Houthi reopened the attack on Red Sea merchant ships this month, which also put the ceasefire agreement in uncertainty.

With multiple attacks, casualties and damage to major ports, Red Sea Shipping is once again facing the most turbulent period of the year...
