Open-source intelligence indicates that a helicopter from the German frigate Hessen (F221) neutralized an Unmanned Surface Vessel (USV) in the Southern Red Sea, which was launched from areas in Yemen under Houthi control.
The reports also highlight that the French frigate Alsace (D656) eliminated three anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBM) that were directly threatening the freedom of navigation and her escorted Container Ship.
These are the second and third such incidents reported in the immediate vicinity within a 24-hour period.
All vessels in the area are advised to proceed with caution and to report any suspicious activities to the UKMTO.
