Images that are shared on social media show the moment when the Houthis fire a rocket on the cargo ship *Eternity C *, which was in international waters. The explosion would have caused serious structural damage, so that the ship sank a few hours later.
This is one of the most serious incidents since the start of the Houthi campaign against maritime goals, which has been intensified in retribution for Western support to the coalition led by Saudi Arabia in the conflict in Yemen.
The attack again fuels over the safety of commercial shipping in the Red Sea, an essential route for world trade.
