A frigate operating as part of the EU military mission “Aspides” foiled an attack on a civilian cargo ship in the Red Sea, the German Bundeswehr announced on the X social network.
The frigate continued its mission, the statement said, noting that it had successfully destroyed the approaching missile.
Hessen, along with a contingent of 250 soldiers, has been stationed in the region since late February.
