The German frigate was first attacked by Hussites in the Red Sea - the media

According to the German edition of Taz. de, last week, hosts fighters stated that they wanted to expand attacks on trade vessels off the coast of the country and are ready for use of underwater weapons. The German frigate "Hessen", stationed in the Red Sea to protect the international navigation, first reflected the attack of the Yemeni Hussites. This was reported by German Spiegel.

On Tuesday, February 27, the frigate successfully applied the Navy of Germany in the framework of the operation, which is considered the most dangerous naval mission of the Bundesver. Hessen previously went from Wilhelmshafen to the combat area in order to start performing the operation immediately after the Bundestag decision.

On Friday, February 23, the Bundestag was approved by Germany's participation in the EU Mission, and the German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said that the operation would help stabilize the region, but at the same time "is" one of the most dangerous for the Navy of Germany in recent decades. " At the same time, the US Central Command (Centcom) stated that the US planes and the Allied warship were shot down by five Hussite drones between 21:50 and 22:55 local time.

It is unclear whether it was a hessen frigate. According to Centcom report on online platform X, drones were sent from areas controlled by militias in Yemen and jeopardized commercial and naval vessels in the region. The International Mission under the leadership of the United States and the United Kingdom has also been fighting Hussites in the Red Sea since early 2024.

The purpose of this operation is to intercept the Khussite drones and missiles, as well as to destroy their weapons, missile systems and other military infrastructure. From the beginning of the war in the Gaza Sector, Yemeni Hutivit began to attack merchant ships in the Red Sea, which caused a serious blow to world trade. As Iran's allies, they want to stop Israeli attacks in the Gaza sector, firing merchant ships in the Red Sea.

The Israeli military operation is a response to the Hamas Islamist Terrorist attack on October 7. According to the German edition of Taz. de, last week, militias, stated that they wanted to expand attacks on trade vessels off the coast of the country and are ready for use of underwater weapons. The leader of the Abdul-Malik Al-Huti group has said they were counting on escalation in response to the Escalation of Israel in the Gaza Sector.

Currently, 48 ships have been attacked, and underwater cables between Europe and Asia have been damaged. The sea path through the Red Sea and the Suez Canal is one of the most important routes of world trade. Due to the attacks of Hussites armed with Iran, large navigable companies are increasingly avoiding the shortest maritime communication between Asia and Europe, which has a significant impact on the world economy.

Almost every day, the US military strikes for Hussites, including missiles and drones aimed at the ship and weapons prepared for shooting. Recently, on February 25, US and British troops attacked 18 Hussites in eight places. According to the US, they included underground warehouses of arms of militias, as well as rockets, drones, air defense systems and radar systems. The UK's Defense Minister Grant Chapps threatened extremists with further attacks if they did not stop attack on sales vessels.

In addition to the United States, other Western countries, such as the United Kingdom, are also involved in the attacks on the attacks of Yemeni fighters. 18 countries are involved in a purely defense military operation of the EU for the protection of trade navigation. In addition to Germany, ships to the Red Sea are sent, in particular, Belgium, Italy and France. Focus wrote that, according to US intelligence, Husvit and Russians have the same drones from Iran.
