French frigate intercepts ballistic missile near Belgian minesweeper in Bab al-Mandab

Bab al-Mandab, Yemen ·

No party had claimed responsibility for launching the missile as of 26 October, according to the report. The incident shows European warships operating in waters near the Bab al-Mandab strait to protect shipping in the area.

The Bab al-Mandab is a narrow strait linking the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden, and it has been a key shipping route in the conflict involving Yemen, where Ansar Allah (the Houthi movement) controls Sanaa and much of the north.
