The USS Mason intercepted the drone as it was headed towards the destroyer. There were no damages to American vessels, equipment, or personnel as a result of the shootdown, according to military officials.

On Sunday, after another similar attack, U.S. Central Command said in a statement that they, “Have every reason to believe that these attacks, while launched by the Houthis in Yemen, are fully enabled by Iran".

CENTCOM added, "The United States will consider all appropriate responses in full coordination with its international allies and partners".
