The European Commission officially established on Tuesday "EUNAVFOR ASPIDES", the European military operation for maritime security and freedom of navigation in the context of the Red Sea crisis, ANA reports.

This operation will contribute to maritime security along the main sea lanes in an area including the Straits of Bab el-Madab and the Straits of Hormuz, as well as international waters in the Red Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf.
