A drone heading towards the Navy ship Caio Duilio was shot down in the Red Sea, about 6 kilometers from the ship, during a self-defense operation by our armed forces. The device, Defense announced in a press release, had characteristics similar to those already found in other devices used in previous attacks. “The Houthi terrorist attacks constitute a serious violation of international law,” said Italian Defense Minister Guido Crosetto, “and an attack on the security of maritime traffic on which our economy depends. These attacks are part of a hybrid war, which uses all possibilities, not just military, to harm certain countries and help others. » The Duilio replaced the Martinengo ship in the national activity, which began at the end of December, following attacks by Houthi militia against traffic sailing in the Bab-el Mandeb Strait, and is responsible for guaranteeing the protection of international law and to safeguard national interests.
