Russian media: Two Russian warships cross the Strait of Mandate into the Red Sea

On March 28th, according to TASS, the warships of the Russian Pacific Fleet have crossed the Strait of Mandate and entered the Red Sea. The news department of the Russian Pacific Fleet stated that this formation includes the missile cruiser Varyag and the frigate Marshal Shaposhnikov, carrying out tasks assigned by superiors in accordance with the sea voyage plan. The final destination of these ships and the reason why Russia dispatched warships to the region cannot be seen from the report. For several months, in retaliation for Israel's military actions in Gaza, the Housai armed forces in Yemen have carried out a series of attacks on Red Sea ships, forcing many ships to change course.
