France strongly condemns the lethal attack by the Houthis on the commercial vessel True Confidence in the Gulf of Aden on March 6, 2024, which killed several crew members and wounded a number of others. Houthi attacks on international maritime traffic reached a new level yesterday. They must cease.

France offers its condolences to the loved ones of the Houthis’ victims.

Several days ago, the Houthis also claimed responsibility for the sinking of the Rubymar, which poses a very serious risk of environmental disaster.

As part of the EU Operation ASPIDES, France will continue to work to guarantee maritime security and freedom of navigation, in accordance with international law.
