🇳🇱 The Dutch frigate ZR MS Tromp has withdrawn from the Red Sea, adding to the growing list of European ships that have withdrawn following the failed American alliance to attempt to confront the Yemeni Armed Forces operations in support of Gaza.
The commander of the ship stated that the "Yemenis are violent and unpredictable," and that the Yemeni threat "extends from the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden and connects to the Indian Ocean."
The ship was in the Red Sea for a month, as part of the European "Aspides" mission. Britain, Germany, Denmark, and France have all withdrawn military ships from the Red Sea in the last month.
