This Council Decision extends the mandate of the EU naval operation EUNAVFOR ASPIDES until 28 February 2027. Originally established in 2024 to protect commercial shipping in the Red Sea, the operation previously had a non-executive mandate focused on maritime situational awareness. The amendment adds new tasks within the operation’s existing means and capabilities: collecting and sharing information on suspicious activities related to critical submarine infrastructures, training Djiboutian maritime forces, and cooperating with the Yemeni Coast Guard. These new activities must be linked with other EU initiatives including CRIMARIO, EU assistance for the Yemeni Coast Guard, and European Peace Facility support for Djibouti Armed Forces.
