The Greek frigate ‘PSARA’, part of the EU operation in the Red Sea (EUNAVFOR ASPIDES), averted a four-drone attack against a merchant ship in the Gulf of Aden early on Sunday.
The frigate, which is part of an operation protecting merchant vessels from attacks by Houthis, used its antidrone system and a gun to deflect an attack by four UAVs, following current Engagement Rules. Two of the drones were shot down and the other two left, military sources said. They added that the frigate continues its operation.
