The Greek navy frigate Psara engaged Houthi drones in the Red Sea over the weekend.
Infrared footage has captured the moment a Greek warship shot down an attack drone launched by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the Gulf of Aden over the weekend.Video released on Monday by the Defense Ministry of the Netherlands showed the unmanned aerial vehicle flying near the surface of the water before it disintegrated in an explosion—the result of autocannon fire from the Greek navy frigate HS Psara.
Houthis use drones for 'reconnaissance and attacks on military bases, critical infrastructure and shipping in the region,' the Dutch Defense Ministry said. 'The drones are difficult to detect and intercept. As a result, Houthis are able to inflict significant damage with limited resources.'There have been nearly 70 reported attacks by the Houthis since the group declared war on Israel in solidarity with the pro-Palestinian Hamas militant group in the Gaza Strip.
