ATHENS: The EU naval mission protecting ships crossing the Red Sea claimed that its frigate Psara had destroyed an unmanned aerial drone in the Gulf of Aden on Sunday.
The EU naval mission began in February in response to drone and missile attacks by Houthi militants on vessels in the region. The Houthis describe the attacks as acts of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.
Other countries, including the United States, also have naval forces operating in the area.
