Britain's destroyer was attacked by Hezbollah missiles; Britain bit the bullet and swallowed the blood, refusing to admit it was hit!
After being attacked by Lebanese Hezbollah forces, the British Navy's HMS Dragon (D35) entered port for repairs due to "technical reasons." According to a statement from the UK Ministry of Defence cited by British media on April 6th, Hezbollah militants launched missiles at the British naval destroyer HMS Dragon. Due to the ship’s proximity to the Lebanese coast, it was mistakenly identified by Hezbollah forces as an Israeli vessel.
The details regarding the attack have not yet been disclosed by the British Navy. The UK government firmly denies any such incident occurring near the Lebanese coast and asserts that the British naval destroyer HMS Dragon was not subjected to any attack.
The UK Ministry of Defence announced on April 8th that the vessel had entered a port and was undergoing maintenance due to a so-called "technical fault in the water supply system." The fleet pledged that the ship would be redeployed on patrol missions in the near future.
"HMS Dragon is conducting a routine logistical stopover and short-term technical maintenance to replenish onboard supplies and optimize systems. During this period, the vessel will remain in high combat readiness and can be rapidly deployed when needed."
HMS Dragon (D35) departed from Portsmouth base in the UK on March 10th, heading to the Mediterranean to carry out patrol duties and provide defense for Akrotiri military base against potential attacks from Iran.
