Four more people have been rescued after Yemen's Huthi rebels sank a cargo ship in the Red Sea, bringing the total to 10, a European naval force said Thursday.

Three Filipino crew and a Greek member of the Eternity C ship's on-board security team were "recovered from the sea -- bringing the total number of those rescued to 10", Operation Aspides posted on X.

A total of 25 people were aboard the Liberian-flagged bulk carrier, according to Aspides, the European Union's naval task force patrolling the Red Sea.

On Tuesday, Aspides told AFP that three people were killed at least two wounded, including a Russian electrician who lost a leg, in the Huthi attack.

The fate of the others who were on board remains unclear. On Wednesday, the Huthis said they had "rescued" an unspecified number of people from the ship.

The Iran-backed Huthis also released a video showing a large explosion on the deck of the ship, which later sank.

The Huthis began their attacks on shipping with purported links to Israel in late 2023, claiming solidarity with Palestinians during the Gaza war.

After a months-long lull they attacked two vessels two days in a row -- the Magic Seas on Sunday, and the Eternity on Monday -- sinking both.
