A suspected drone targeting a commercial vessel in the Red Sea has been shot down by a UK warship, according to British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps. The incident occurred overnight when HMS Diamond successfully brought down the drone using a single Sea Viper missile. The warship had recently arrived in the region to support international efforts in maintaining maritime security. The attack comes amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East fueled by Israel’s attacks on Gaza. While the British defense secretary did not mention the attackers, the US revealed that Yemen’s Houthi forces had assaulted a Marshall Islands-flagged cargo ship in the southern Red Sea. When the US Navy attempted to assist the vessel after a distress call, the attackers fired two missiles at the warship, but failed to hit their target. The successful interception of the suspected drone by the UK warship highlights the importance of maintaining robust maritime security measures in the region.
