According to the Houthi movement, the crew members have been flown to Oman. At least four people were killed in the attack on the Eternity C ship, which took place in July. Eleven people are missing.
The Philippines said on Tuesday that it expects nine Filipino sailors held captive since the attack to be released. No details on the citizenship of those released have yet been released.
The Houthi movement carried out a large number of attacks on cargo ships in the Red Sea, in what it said was support for the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. Since the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas took effect in October, the movement has paused its attacks.
