European Aspides enables Red Sea vessel passage
The European naval mission "ASPIDES" has succeeded in securing the passage of over a thousand commercial ships in the Red Sea off western Yemen over the course of a year and a half, under the protection of the Italian frigate "Bergamini." This effort is part of its ongoing efforts to safeguard important global waterways from threats and attacks carried out by the Houthi group since late 2023. This is the second operation by the Italian frigate in July, which also includes supporting a Greek frigate. The statement added that the European force is made up of more than 390 sailors from 21 countries and operates in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, the Strait of Hormuz, and through the waters of the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden, with the goal of ensuring the security of commercial shipping in the region. The European commander noted that the Houthis pose a continuous threat to navigation, affirming their readiness to deter any future attacks.
