British warship HMS Dragon has left Portsmouth and is heading to Cyprus.
The UK's Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirmed a week ago that the Type 45 Destroyer would be deployed to the Mediterranean region, after a drone struck the runway at the RAF Akrotiri base in Cyprus on 1 March, causing what the Ministry of Defence (MoD) described as "minimal damage".
The Royal Navy has no major warship in the Mediterranean region.
