Sovereignty Written in Fire: Armed Forces Sink “ETERNITY C” and Close the Red Sea to the Enemy

In a decisive new message reaffirming its commitment to the maritime deterrence equation, the Yemeni Armed Forces announced the sinking of the vessel “ETERNITY C” in the heart of the Red Sea, after it violated the Yemeni ban and set course for the port of Umm al-Rashrash in the occupied Palestinian territories.

This was no ordinary operation—it bore the full Yemeni signature: a drone boat, six cruise and ballistic missiles, and precise execution documented in audio and video, proving to the world that Sana’a does not issue empty threats, but settles matters with iron and fire whenever warnings are ignored.

While the vessel was heading for Umm al-Rashrash despite repeated warnings from the Yemeni naval forces, the decisive response came, sinking it completely. Yet Yemen did not sink its values and ethics along with the ship. A special forces unit quickly mobilized to rescue several crew members, provided them with medical care, and transferred them to safety—once again, Sana’a combines resolute deterrence with noble humanitarian conduct.

Those Who Ignore the Warning Hear the Blast—Those Who Breach the Ban, Sink

The Armed Forces confirmed that the operation was a result of the vessel and its owning company’s insistence on resuming dealings with the ports of the Zionist enemy, a direct violation of the Yemeni-imposed ban as part of its practical support for Gaza. They stressed that any ship involved in supporting the temporary entity is a legitimate target wherever Yemeni reach extends, regardless of who sent or operates it.

In its statement, the Yemeni Armed Forces reaffirmed that Israeli shipping in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea is now “under the axe,” and that the era when ships could pass safely under the watch of American fleets is over.

They emphasized that these successive strikes are only chapters in a broader strategic battle aimed at ending the Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people and lifting the unjust siege on Gaza, asserting that Yemen will not cease its support for the Palestinian resistance and will not relent until the siege is broken and the enemy defeated.

Sana’a’s Message Today Is Clearer Than Ever:
No passage without permission, and no harbors for the enemy except those under the fire. Those who ignore the call will drown in the aftermath.
