How was it hit and how the magic seas sank
The ship’s security team intercepted two marine drones, while the other two hit the Magic Seas. The video published shows that explosives were probably placed on the ship, which led to its sinking.
The crew consisted of 22 crew members (17 Philippines, one Romania, one Vietnam and three from Sri Lanka) were rescued by Yemen’s Coast Guard forces.
It is noted that this ship had not requested an escort or protection by Eunavfor Aspides. When the incident happened, no operation of the operation was within walking distance of the commercial.
It is noted that this is the first attack on a merchant ship in the Red Sea since November 2024 by Houthi.
