Two US Navy soldiers who went missing in the Gulf of Aden earlier this month have not been found and their status has been changed from missing to deceased. This was reported by military officials. US Special Forces soldiers went missing after boarding an Iranian ship in an operation on January 11 off the coast of Somalia. This was reported by United States Central Command at United and the entire special operations community during this period,” Centcom Commander General Michael Erik Kurilla said in a statement. An episode that is feared could contribute to raising the level of tension in the Red Sea after the war between Israel and Hamas and the attacks by Yemeni Houthi rebels on Western ships.
Meanwhile, work is underway for a European mission in the region. “Given the seriousness of the current situation and our geostrategic interests, it is important that the EU demonstrates its will and capabilities to act as a global security actor, including in the maritime sector”, write Italy, France and Germany in the document they will present at the Foreign Affairs Council where they will return to the EU naval mission in the Red Sea, which “will comply with the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and will be defensive”.
