Frigate shot down Houthi drone
On the morning of April 29, the 'Virginio Fasan' reported downing a drone from Yemen. The frigate had recently arrived in the region to take over as the flagship of EU NAVFOR Aspides. While German, Denmark, and Belgium have withdrawn their vessels, Italy has sent a new frigate, which took over as the new flagship of the operation. Italy's Duilio had been leading the operation. The drone was about three miles away when it was downed, as they believed it was heading for an unnamed merchant ship that they were escorting. A missile exploded in the water in the vicinity of the escorted vessel, causing only minor superficial damage.
