The warship sailing near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait shot down a drone launched from Yemen on Wednesday, Nov. 29, the U.S. military said, in the latest in a string of threats from Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. The USS Carney downed the drone, a Iranian-made KAS-04, which was launched from a Houthi-controlled area of Yemen and was heading toward the ship.
