US Navy destroyer shoots down drone launched from Yemen over Red Sea
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] A drone launched from Yemen shot down by the US Navy destroyer USS Carney, located near the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, over the Red Sea. The Associated Press reported this on November 29, citing a representative of the US Navy.

It is clarified that the crew of the ship considered the Iranian-made KAS-04 drone a threat and decided to shoot it down.

It is explained that the United States sent its ships to the Red Sea after the outbreak of hostilities between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement.

Earlier, Regnum news agency reported that on November 28, an Iranian unmanned aerial vehicle flew next to the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States Navy Dwight Eisenhower in the Persian Gulf.

The US military considered the incident to be the result of unprofessionalism and non-compliance with security standards on the part of Iran, according to which drones are required to stay at a distance of more than 18.5 km from the aircraft carrier.
The Times of Israel adds:
An American destroyer shot down a drone today that was launched from a part of Yemen
...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of...
controlled by the Iran-backed Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...
rebels, the US military’s Central Command says.

"At approximately 1100 (Sanaa time), while in the South Red Sea, the Arleigh-Burke Class Guided Missile Destroyer USS Carney (DDG 64) shot down an Iranian-produced KAS04 unmanned aerial vehicle launched from Huthi-controlled areas of Yemen," CENTCOM says in a statement.

Or, simply an act of war.
