Houtis blow up ship july 2025

The Houthis have released footage of the sinking of the Greek bulk carrier Magic Seas in the Red Sea.

On July 6, after sending a warning that the crew ignored, the vessel was attacked by unmanned boats, drones and missiles near the port of Hodeida. After the attack, the crew abandoned the vessel and were rescued by another vessel.

A group of Houthis were then boarded by the now empty vessel, who planted and detonated charges, which led to the sinking of the bulk carrier.

Hard to bomb an enemy with nothing to lose. Given the range, Israel can’t simply bomb Yemen into submission.
