The search for sailors missing after Houthi rebels sank a ship in the Red Sea has ended, the private security firms involved said on Monday.
At least four people are presumed dead and 11 remain unaccounted for.
The announcement came as satellite images showed oil slicks from where the bulk carrier Eternity C sank as well as another where the cargo carrier Magic Seas went down.
The Houthis sank the two ships over a week ago causing disruption of shipping in the Red Sea, through which $1 trillion of goods usually passes a year.
The Houthis have said they hold some of Eternity C crew, while the U.S. Embassy in Yemen — which has been operating from Saudi Arabia for about a decade — has described the Houthis as having “kidnapped” the mariners.
