Pentagon Says Vessel in Arabian Sea Attacked by Drone Fired From Iran - Reports

The Pentagon said the unmanned aerial vehicle that attacked a ship in the Arabian Sea off the coast of India on Saturday was launched from Iran, The Wall Street Journal newspaper reported.

On Saturday, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) said that a drone had attacked a ship off the coast of India, causing an explosion and subsequent fire.

 Indian news agency ANI reported, citing Indian military officials, that the attacked vessel was the ship Chem Pluto sailing under the flag of Liberia. The ship was transporting crude oil from Saudi Arabia to India. 

The United States has announced that it shot down four drones launched by Yemen’s Houthis, as the United Kingdom’s top diplomat branded the rebel group’s ally Iran a “malign influence”.

The USS Laboon guided-missile destroyer downed the drones as they were travelling towards the vessel and there were no injuries or damage, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Saturday.

  1. Беспилотники йеменских хуситов атаковали два танкера для перевозки нефти в Красном море. Об этом сообщило центральное командование (ЦК) ВМС США в соцсети X.

    Как отметили в ЦК, сигналы бедствия поступили в 8 вечера. Танкер, шедший под флагом Норвегии, сообщил о попытке атаки беспилотника, однако летательное средство промахнулось. В то же время габонский танкер под индийским флагом сообщил о попадании дрона. На сигналы бедствия ответил эсминец США «Лабун».
