A U.S. Navy warship sailing in the Red Sea shot down an Iranian-made drone that officials say was launched from Yemen on Nov. 29, according to the Pentagon.
The Arleigh-Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyer USS Carney shot down the Iranian-made KAS-04 drone at approximately 11 a.m. local time because it was approaching the Navy vessel near the Bab el-Mandeb strait, a waterway that connects the Red Sea to the Gulf of Aden near the Arabian Sea, U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement.
