The Danish Parliament has approved the deployment of contributions to a multinational mission in the Strait of Hormuz, Anadolu reports citing broadcaster DR.

Lawmakers have decided that Denmark will send officers, interpreters and drones to the region as part of a UK- and France-led multinational mission aimed at safeguarding freedom of navigation in the strait, as well as the EU’s naval operation.

The contribution consists of a staff officer element, a drone capability and an interpreter unit, totalling around 10 personnel.

Cyber capabilities may also be included in the Danish military effort.
