France strongly condemns the resumption of Houthi attacks on commercial vessels in the Red Sea, which left several sailors dead and others wounded.

These attacks are an unacceptable obstacle to the freedom of navigation and threaten stability throughout the region. They must stop immediately, along with the constant Houthi attacks on Israel.

Together with its partners, France remains fully committed to maritime security and regional stability under the banner of the EU defensive maritime security operation ASPIDES.
