A Greek military frigate, part of the EU’s naval mission in the Red Sea, has shot at two drones in order to push them back, a Greek defence official has said, according to Al Jazeera.

The EU launched its naval mission, dubbed Aspides, in February in response to the growing threat of Houthi attacks on shipping vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

The Houthis have said they are carrying out the attacks in response to Israel’s war on Gaza, and have pledged to increase their intensity during Ramadan.
