On Wednesday, March 13, in the early hours of the morning, Greece’s frigate Hydra opened fire on two unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the Gulf of Aden.
Ekathimerini reported that following this, both drones immediately changed their course.
This marked the first engagement of the Hellenic Navy’s MEKO 200 frigate in the EU naval mission Aspides.
The mission is designed to protect merchant ships from assaults by Yemen’s Iran-backed Houthi military.
Ever since Monday, March 11, when the Greek frigate – Hydra departed from Djibouti, it has been patrolling the Gulf of Aden.
