French Navy intercepts two drones fired from Houthi area in Yemen

The French Navy's Languedoc frigate intercepted two drones fired from a Houthi-controlled area in Yemen which were heading straight toward it on Saturday, the General Staff of the French Armed Forces said on Saturday night.
The two drones were launched from near Al Hudaydah, a port city controlled by the Iran-backed Houthis, before they were intercepted about 110 km from the coast, according to the Navy. The first drone was launched at the vessel at about 10:30 p.m. Israel time, while the second was launched at 12:30 a.m.

The Languedoc has been deployed in the Indian Ocean Maritime Zone since August and recently accompanied the US Navy's USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carried through the Strait of Hormuz into the Persian Gulf.
