A British naval vessel successfully intercepted and destroyed a suspected attack drone targeting shipping vessels in the Red Sea, as confirmed by the UK's defence secretary, Grant Shapps.
This action comes in response to recent attacks by Yemeni rebels in the region.
Two major shipping companies, Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd, have temporarily suspended passage through the Red Sea strait due to these escalating maritime tensions.
