Italian Navy to Send Frigate to Boost Red Sea Security
(Reuters) Angelo Amante - The Italian navy will "in the coming hours" send the frigate Virginio Fasan to help protect the Red Sea shipping route against attacks by Yemen's Houthi militants, Italy's Defense Ministry said on Tuesday. "Italy will do its part, together with the international community, to counter the terrorist destabilization activity of the Houthis," Defense Minister Guido Crosetto said after a video call with U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin.
