Yemen's Houthi rebels have sunk another 30,000-ton cargo ship! Just before the Israeli Air Force launched an attack on Yemen's Houthi rebels, on July 6, 2025, Yemen's Houthi rebels sank a 10,000-ton cargo ship for the first time in seven months in the Red Sea. The UK Maritime Security Agency stated, "A merchant ship sailing along the western coast of Yemen was set on fire after being hit by multiple projectiles." "Houthi rebels on small boats fired rockets and small arms at a vessel located 51 nautical miles (94 kilometers) south-west of the strategic port city of Hodeida in Yemen." The UK Maritime Trade Organization said: "The ship was approached and attacked by eight small boats, which opened fire with small arms and mortars on the ship." It also added, "The Western guards, Western mercenaries, and armed security teams on board returned fire."

The UK maritime security organization also reported that "the merchant ship was approached and attacked by eight small boats while sailing north in the Red Sea," and was then attacked by small arms and rockets. Later reports indicated that two unmanned explosive boats collided with the ship, while two other unmanned explosive boats were destroyed by the Western armed guards and Western mercenaries on board.

According to the latest information, the "Magic Ocean" bulk carrier, which is related to Israel, has sunk in the Red Sea after a fierce clash with Yemen's Houthi speedboats. The "Magic Ocean" bulk carrier has a displacement of 35,000 tons and is a large ship registered under Liberia, reportedly bound for Israel. The UK Maritime Trade Organization confirmed that the bulk carrier "Magic Ocean" is currently sinking in the Red Sea, following a fierce confrontation between the crew and the Houthi speedboats. According to reports, the crew has evacuated and abandoned the ship. The UK Maritime Trade Action Organization advises all ships to proceed with caution through this area and report any suspicious activities to the organization.
