NNA – French frigate FREMM Languedoc intercepted and destroyed a drone that was threatening the Norwegian oil tanker Strinda in a complex aerial attack originating from Yemen, the French defence ministry said in a statement on Tuesday.

It said the attack had taken place in the evening of Monday Dec. 11 and had caused a fire on board the tanker, which was sailing under the Norwegian flag.

Yemen#39;s Houthis said on Tuesday that they carried out a military operation against the Strinda in their latest protest against Israel#39;s bombardment of Gaza. — Reuters
