British warship repels attack by Houthi drone in Red Sea — ministry of defense
The Diamond destroyer of the Royal Navy shot down a Houthi drone in the Red Sea, the UK Ministry of Defense said.
"Yesterday the crew of HMS Diamond had to once again shoot down a Houthi attack drone illegally targeting the ship," it wrote on its X (formerly known as Twitter) page.
According to the ministry, the drone was downed with the use of a Sea Viper missile system. Neither of the crew members were hurt. The ship was not damaged either.
HMS Diamond was deployed to the region nearly two months ago. Over this period, it has repelled several drone attacks. UK Defense Secretary Grant Shapps said on January 9 that the Richmond frigate had been commissioned to the Red Sea. On January 24, UK Minister of State in the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Andrew Mitchell said that HMS Richmond would soon replace HMS Diamond in the zone of patrolling.
