Greek military ship intercepts two Houthi drones in the Red Sea
A Greek military vessel serving in the European Union's naval mission in the Red Sea intercepted two drones launched by Yemen's Houthi militants towards a commercial ship, officials at the Greek Defence Ministry said on Thursday. "On Thursday morning Greek frigate Hydra, while it was escorting a merchant ship in the Gulf of Aden, fired at two drones," an official told Reuters. Greece has supplied a frigate to the EU's mission, dubbed Aspides, that launched in February to help protect the key maritime trade route from drone and missile attacks by the Iran-backed Houthi militia, who say they are targeting commercial ships in retaliation for Israel's war on Gaza.
