Australia Sends Guided Missile Frigate to E. China Sea to Enforce N. Korea Sanctions
TEHRAN (defapress)- Australia has assigned a guided missile frigate to the East China Sea to boost international efforts to enforce sanctions against North Korea.
Defense Force Chief of Joint Operations, Air Marshall Mel Hupfeld said the warship with a crew of 230 will be supported by two Australian AP-3C Orion surveillance aircraft based in Japan, RT reported.
The occasional deployment of maritime patrol aircraft and surface vessels to the region “adds weight to Australia’s ongoing economic and diplomatic pressure on North Korea and enhances the capacity of ongoing multinational enforcement efforts,” he said.
