U.S. Navy warship shoots down drone fired from Yemen

The guided missile destroyer USS Thomas Hudner shot down a drone fired from Yemen over the Red Sea early Wednesday, according to two U.S. defense officials. 

Unlike an incident last month in which an American destroyer shot down multiple drones and missiles fired in the direction of Israel, this drone was fired directly at the USS Thomas Hudner. 

Reuters was first to report the warship shot down the drone.
