Watan<\/strong><\/em>-On Tuesday, Yemen\u2019s Houthi group released a video showing the full sinking of the commercial cargo ship Magic Seas in the Red Sea, off the coast of Al-Hudaydah province in western Yemen. The vessel had been targeted by Houthi forces.<\/p>\n

The footage, published by the Houthis’ \u201cMilitary Media\u201d on the platform X (formerly Twitter), shows the ship\u2019s crew ignoring warnings and radio calls from the group\u2019s naval forces before military action was taken.<\/p>\n

The video includes scenes of the vessel being struck by unmanned drone boats, followed by a special forces assault, culminating in the complete submersion of the ship.<\/p>\n

According to a statement accompanying the video, the attack \u2014 which took place Sunday before the ship fully sank on Monday \u2014 came in response to a violation by the ship\u2019s Greek owner, Paragon Shipping, of a Houthi-imposed ban on entry into \u201cthe ports of occupied Palestine,\u201d referring to Israel.<\/p>\n

In an earlier statement, Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said that the Magic Seas, operated by the Greek company Steam Shipping and sailing under the Liberian flag, had docked at Israeli ports three times in the past week, despite repeated warnings from the group\u2019s naval forces.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates announced Monday that it had successfully rescued all 22 crew members aboard the vessel. The rescue was carried out by Sven Prism, a ship owned by Abu Dhabi Ports Group, which responded to a distress call following the Red Sea attack.<\/p>\n
