The European Union says its naval mission escorting ships through the Red Sea has raised its alert level, as Houthis in Yemen threaten the key waterway, AFP reports.
“Europe is helping protect shipping in the Red Sea from Houthi attacks,” EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas writes online after talking with her Saudi counterpart. “Given the worsening security situation, EU Operation Aspides has raised the alert level of its vessels as it continues its escort duties.”
