A frigate’s commanding officer expressed frustration over a long-known issue that lacked urgency, as the ship confronted an attack by Iran-backed Houthi militants, shooting down four drones in the Red Sea. Following media reports, Denmark’s defense minister appointed a new interim chief of defense, citing the need for change due to ongoing security challenges, despite the attacks on ships not primarily linked to Israel.
