Red Sea Chaos: British Warship Thwarts Attack Drone Targeting Shipping
The British warship HMS Diamond has shot down a suspected attack drone in the Red Sea, marking the first time in decades that the Royal Navy has shot an aerial target in anger. While the Ministry of Defence did not disclose the perpetrator, Yemen's Houthi rebels have claimed responsibility for recent attacks in the region. The drone was believed to be targeting merchant shipping, and the incident highlights the ongoing threat to international commerce and maritime security in the Red Sea. The Royal Navy, along with its allies, remains committed to protecting the free flow of global trade in the region.
