In a tragic incident on the Red Sea, Houthi rebels launched an attack on a Liberian-flagged cargo ship, leading to the death of three mariners and injuring two others, according to the European Union's naval force.

The vessel, identified as the Greek-owned Eternity C, was targeted beginning Monday night, with hostilities extending into Tuesday morning. One of the injured suffered severe injuries, resulting in the loss of a leg.
