French military keeps two frigates near Bab Al-Mandab for ship protection
The French military says its forces are safeguarding commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden amid ongoing regional tensions and attacks.
The French military has stationed two frigates in the vicinity of Bab Al-Mandab to safeguard commercial ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, as tensions and attacks persist in the region. This action comes after the French military intercepted a suspicious aerial target in southern Lebanon, according to Al Arabiya. Additionally, French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot has pledged 3 million euros to assist the Yemeni people amid escalating hostilities in the country, which have triggered a humanitarian crisis.
The minister disclosed that an attack by the Houthis, a group labeled as terrorists, in Bab Al-Mandab has exacerbated the humanitarian situation, as reported by Reuters.
