Denmark to send frigate to U.S.-led task force in Red Sea
COPENHAGEN,
Dec 29 (Reuters) - Denmark will send a frigate to participate in the
U.S.-led Red Sea operation next month, the Danish Defence Minister said
on Friday.
Several countries, led by the United States, on Dec. 19 agreed to patrol the southern Red Sea and Gulf of Aden to safeguard commercial shipping against attacks by Yemen's Houthi rebels in the area.
"We
are concerned about the serious situation unfolding in the Red Sea,
where unprovoked attacks against civilian shipping continue," Defense
Minister Troels Lund Poulsen said in a statement.
