Greek military ship shoots at two drones in the Red Sea

A Greek frigate deployed to the Red Sea last month to ward off attacks on shipping by Yemen’s Houthis saw action for the first time on Wednesday, the military said.

The Greek general staff in a statement said that the frigate Hydra had fired its gun at two drones, which then flew away.

The engagement in the Gulf of Aden was part of the Hydra’s mission to provide protection for a cargo ship, which the military did not identify by name.
