French military says it destroyed four combat drones in Gulf of Aden
A French warship and fighter jets destroyed four combat drones that were heading towards a European naval mission in the Gulf of Aden, the French military says.
“This defensive action directly contributed to the protection of the cargo ship True Confidence, under the Barbados flag, which was struck on March 6 and is being towed, as well as other commercial vessels transiting in the area,” the army says in a statement.
