Singapore to join US-led operation to protect commercial ships from Houthi attacks in Red Sea

Singapore has said it will participate in Operation Prosperity Guardian, the US-led military operation to protect commercial ships from Houthi-led attacks in the Red Sea trade route. Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said this in Parliament today, in response to a question on how the country will contribute to security in the area. He added that the immediate impact on Singapore's critical supplies is expected to be limited, because most of its supplies are brought in by air or other sea routes.
