The Royal Navy destroyer, HMS Diamond, sailed into Palma this morning offering her crew a well deserved break after being on operations protecting shipping in the Red Sea. On the night of 15 December 2023, Diamond shot down a suspected attack drone launched from a Islamist Houthi-controlled area of Yemen, targeting commercial shipping in the Red Sea, with a Sea Viper (Aster) missile. The UK Ministry of Defence said it was the first time in decades that the Royal Navy had shot an aerial target in anger.
