Italian warship to head to Red Sea after Houthi attacks
Local media reported on Tuesday that Italy would send a warship amid a rise in attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels on commercial vessels in the Red Sea.
The Italian warship frigate Virgilio Fasan was due to be dispatched in February 2024 to support the European Union’s Atalanta operation to deter and disrupt acts of piracy and armed robbery in the southern Red Sea, Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean.
