Washington, February 3 (Xinhua) — A U.S. military aircraft shot down an Iranian drone over the Arabian Sea, U.S. Central Command reported on Tuesday.
“The USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN 72) was transiting the Arabian Sea approximately 500 miles off the southern coast of Iran when an Iranian-designated Shahed-139 drone made an uncontrolled maneuver toward the ship,” the command said in a statement.
The statement said the Iranian drone "aggressively approached" the aircraft carrier with "unclear intentions" and was destroyed by a US F-35C fighter jet. –0–
