Four more survivors from the Greek-owned cargo ship Eternity C were rescued from the Red Sea on Thursday, following a deadly Houthi attack that left ten still missing.

Maritime security sources said three crew members and one security guard were found alive nearly 48 hours after the vessel was attacked and sunk by Yemen's Houthi militants.

The Eternity C, operated by Greece-based Cosmoship Management, was first struck on Monday by sea drones and later hit again on Tuesday.

So far, ten people have been rescued, including eight Filipinos, one Indian, and one Greek. One fatality has been confirmed, and six crew members and three guards remain missing.

The Eternity C is the second Greek bulk carrier sunk by the Houthis this week, reigniting security fears along the key global shipping route.
