Ship Par attack again in red ocean
Another serious maritime incident in the Red Sea has shocked the global community, where five crew members on board a cargo ship have been rescued safely after an alleged attack by Yemen's Houthi rebels. The incident has further deepened the growing tensions in the region and concerns about maritime security. According to monitoring agencies and the European naval mission 'Operation Aspides', the rescue operation began on Wednesday, July 9, 2025, when Houthi rebels attacked the Liberian-flagged Greek-operated ship 'Eternity Sea'. According to the start of the attack and status reports, Houthi rebels attacked the ship using drones, missiles and rocket-propelled grenades, causing heavy damage to the ship. Four crew members are reported to have been killed in the attack, while several others were injured. Of the 25 members deployed on the ship, 11 are still missing.
The rescue operation was successful.
The security forces and the European naval mission involved in the rescue operation took quick action and rescued the five crew members safely. These include five Filipinos and one Indian national. The European Union's 'Operation Aspides' has confirmed that injured members are being given medical assistance, including a Russian sailor whose leg is seriously injured. Rescue teams have continued search operations in the area, but bad weather and the presence of Houthi rebels have further complicated the work.
Claim and intention of Houthi rebels
Houthi rebels took responsibility for the attack and claimed that the ship was associated with Israel, so they targeted it. They say that these attacks are being carried out in support of the Israel-Hamas conflict. However, Reuters and other sources have not confirmed the ownership of the ship and the accuracy of the attack. The Houthi group has also released a video of the attack, showing explosions on the ship and the pitiable condition of the crew.
Global impact and response
The incident is affecting global trade on the Red Sea sea route, which is a major route for the supply of oil, grain and consumer goods. Experts believe that the ongoing attacks could have a serious impact on the global supply chain. The US embassy has demanded the immediate release of the hostages from the Houthi rebels, while the international community has appealed for peace in the region. The European Union and private security agencies have stressed the need to increase maritime security.
People are discussing this incident on social media. Many users are condemning the actions of the Houthi rebels, while some are calling this incident a result of regional tensions. Experts say that if the situation does not improve, the number of ships passing through the Red Sea may decrease further, which will also affect countries dependent on import-export like India.
Way forward
Search and rescue operations are still going on, but the possibility of further attacks by Houthi rebels has made the situation more serious. Controlling this crisis and ensuring the security of sea routes is a challenge for the international community. This incident has once again intensified the demand for peace in the Middle East, which is important for the global economy.
