Last crew member of sunk bulk carrier released
Aleksei Galaktionov, a Russian crew member of the 'Eternity C', who was believed to be the last held by the Houthis, was released and flown out of Yemen by the United Nations on April 2, 2026. It seemed to have been part of a deal arranged by the UN that also brought a number of Houthis who had been receiving medical treatment or who had been stranded overseas back to Sanaa. Galaktionov had been badly injured during the assault on July 7, 2025, and had remained in Sanaa for medical treatment. He has now completed his medical treatment and recovery. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates in Sanaa said thatd his departure via a United Nations plane would pave the way for his return to Russia. The numbers of the involved crew members were confused and did not match, but it appeared tgat four crew members and one security guard died. Ten crewmembers were rescued by the owner’s team. The Omanis organised the release of these crew members from the Philippines and India in December 2025, with no mention of the one Russian who had been seen in the videos released by the Houthis from the hospital. The Ministry confirmed that the UN flight also included the return of a number of stranded and sick individuals from abroad, in addition to the travel of a number of stranded and sick individuals from within Yemen. Among those aboard the plane were allegedly one or more field commanders who were receiving medical treatment aboard, the sons of prominent members of the Houthi faction, and the sons of prominent arms dealers. The Houthis have been holding several UN employees, saying they would be put on trial for espionage. In Dec 2025, the United Nations said that after the most recent incident, the Houthis were detaining a total of 69 of its employees, and they were working for their release.
