US warship shoots down drone launched from Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen
A US warship shot down an unmanned aerial vehicle from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen on Wednesday in the southern Red Sea, a US military official said.
There was no damage to the USS Mason, an Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer, or injuries to any personnel in the incident, the official said. The drone was flying in the direction of the ship; as with other recent instances of drones being shot down, the official said it came close enough to the Mason that the commander of the ship felt it was a threat and needed to be shot down.
At least three Houthi drones that were shot down by the USS Carney on Sunday, during a series of attacks on three commercial vessels.
