Italian Frigate Federico Martinengo Arrives in Cyprus

The Italian frigate Federico Martinengo has arrived in Cyprus, participating in an operation coordinated with Spain, France, and the Netherlands. The ship, with a crew of over 160 personnel, departed from the Italian port of Taranto last Friday. The frigate previously participated in the EUNAVFOR Aspides operation in the Red Sea to protect commercial shipping from Houthi threats. The French aircraft carrier “Charles De Gaulle” is also in the area. The presence of the ships highlights international cooperation for security in the maritime region.
