Social media shows shared shots of the Twenty rockets on the Eternity C freight ship, which has traveled in international waters. The explosion caused severe structural damage, which led to the sinking of the ship within a few hours.
This is one of the most serious incidents since the beginning of the twenty campaign against sea targets, which has been carried out as an increasing retaliation against the coalition led by Saudi Arabia in the Yemeni conflict due to their enemy support.
