This afternoon, implementing the self-defense principle, Nave Duilio shot down a drone in the Red Sea.
The drone, with similar characteristics to those already used in previous attacks, was about 6 kilometers from the Italian ship, flying in its direction.
The Defense announced this.
"The terrorist attacks by the Houthis are a serious violation of international law and an attack on the safety of maritime traffic on which our economy depends. These attacks are part of a hybrid war, which uses every possibility, not just military, to damage some countries and facilitate others."
Thus the Minister of Defense, Guido Crosetto, on the attack on Nave Duilio in the Red Sea.
