NOURNEWS- The United Kingdom has sent its Richmond frigate to the Red Sea, the country’s Secretary of State for Defense Grant Shapps said.
In a post on an X social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, UK Secretary of State for Defense Grant Shapps said that the frigate is on its way to the Red Sea to ensure the UK maintains a formidable presence in the face of attacks by Yemen.
"With the US, we’ll continue to lead the global response to the crisis and do what is necessary to protect lives and the global economy," Shapps claimed.
In the past weeks, the Yemeni army has targeted ships destined for Zionists' ports in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab strait in a show of support for Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
The Yemeni army has repeatedly said that all ships except Israeli or bound for occupied Palestine are safe while sailing through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.
