DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — In just days, Yemen’s Houthi rebels have begun a new, more violent campaign of attacks targeting ships in the Red Sea, sinking two of them and killing some of their crew.

Ten people have been rescued after Yemen's Houthis sank a cargo ship, an EU naval force said Thursday, with three killed and 12 missing in one of the rebel group's deadliest Red Sea attacks. Three Filipino crew and a Greek member of the Eternity C ship's onboard security team were plucked from the sea overnight,

Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi rebels claimed responsibility for the deadly sinking of a merchant vessel earlier this week, their second attack in 24 hours as they resumed their campaign against Red Sea shipping.
