ATHENS: A Greek military vessel serving in the European Union’s naval mission in the Red Sea intercepted two drones launched by Yemen’s Houthi militants toward a commercial ship, officials at the Greek Defense Ministry said on Thursday.
“On Thursday morning Greek frigate Hydra, while it was escorting a merchant ship in the Gulf of Aden, fired at two drones,” an official told Reuters.
“It destroyed one while the second moved away,” he added. Another defense official confirmed the details of the incident.
