Russian media confirmed on Tuesday that the company owning the cargo ship Magic Seas, which was targeted by Yemeni Armed Forces in the Red Sea after refusing warnings from Sana’a forces, had previously sent several of its ships to ports belonging to the zion*st occupation entity over the past few months.

According to Russia’s TASS news agency, citing maritime sources, the targeted vessel is not the first within the company’s fleet to operate along shipping routes connected to Israel. This highlights the nature of maritime targets now exposed to attacks as part of the open confrontation waged by Yemeni forces in support of Gaza.

The Magic Seas was struck by a coordinated operation involving four unmanned naval units, two of which hit its port side, causing severe damage to the ship’s structure and cargo, ultimately leading to its complete sinking.

The sinking of the Magic Seas cargo ship by Yemen’s Armed Forces in the Red Sea has drawn international attention, especially following confirmation that the vessel’s owning company has a documented history of operating along routes connected to Israeli ports.

Over recent months, Yemen has intensified its naval operations, warning that any ship cooperating with or aiding Israel will be deemed a legitimate target. The Magic Seas reportedly ignored direct warnings from Sana’a before being struck by four unmanned naval drones, leading to its complete destruction and sinking.
