Yemen Navy sinks ETERNITY C ship, shares footage of operation
The video, shared by the official Yemeni military media outlet, documents multiple communications made by the Yemeni Naval Forces to the ETERNITY C's crew. Using the ship's call-sign D5DC2, naval operators attempted to contact the vessel's captain, informing him that rescue boats were en route and that a third vessel, the BARYON, was also available to provide evacuation assistance. The footage captured only a single response, in which the ship's captain confirmed the vessel's identity.

The video then shows the launch of multiple naval ballistic missiles from various locations. The footage includes ground-based angles as well as aerial views via drone, capturing the moment of impact as several explosions rocked the vessel. Plumes of smoke and debris engulfed the ship, with follow-up drone footage revealing extensive structural damage.
Later scenes showed the ship's hull to have been breached and taking on water as it gradually sank beneath the surface.
The ETERNITY C strike comes just days after Ansar Allah issued renewed warnings to all shipping companies operating routes to Israeli ports, declaring that any such vessels, along with their crews, would be considered legitimate targets unless they cease violating the maritime ban.
The Yemeni Armed Forces announced on Wednesday the execution of a naval military operation that targeted the cargo ship ETERNITY C as it made its way to the occupied port of Umm al-Rashrash (Eilat). The attack was carried out using a drone boat and six cruise missiles.
According to a statement by Brigadier General Yahya Saree, spokesperson for the Yemeni Armed Forces, the ship disregarded repeated warnings from the Yemeni navy prohibiting entry into ports of occupied Palestine. As a result, the vessel was struck and subsequently sank.
The statement confirmed that members of the ship's crew were rescued, given medical care, and transferred to a safe location. The operation was fully documented with audio and video footage.
The Yemeni Armed Forces described the operation as part of their ongoing efforts to support the Palestinian people and their resistance, emphasizing that they will continue to disrupt Israeli maritime traffic in the Red and Arabian seas.
They reiterated their warnings to international companies and governments cooperating with the 'Israeli' occupation, stressing their concern for civilian safety while firmly stating:
'We warn these companies against engaging with the ports of occupied Palestine. Their ships and crews will be considered legitimate targets in any location.'
The statement also reasserted that the stance of Sana'a is aimed at forcing the Zionist entity and its allies to lift the siege on Gaza and halt their aggression. It concluded by affirming that military operations will continue and intensify in support of the Palestinian cause and its defenders.
This is the second ship the Yemeni Armed Forces have sunk within a matter of days. Previously, they targeted the Magic Seas vessel in the Red Sea using two drone boats, five ballistic and cruise missiles, and three drones. The ship was directly hit and fully submerged.
