Yemen's Houthis have released mariners who were held since a deadly July attack on the ship Eternity C in the Red Sea. The assault resulted in the sinking of the vessel and the deaths of at least four crew members, with 11 still missing. The mariners, reportedly taken into custody by Oman, were among those targeted in a series of attacks on ships during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The Philippines had anticipated the release of nine of its citizens, who had been described as hostages. The Houthis have targeted over 100 ships in recent months, causing significant loss of life and disruption to maritime traffic.
