American forces shot down an Iranian drone over the Arabian Sea Tuesday after it “aggressively approached” the aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln, the military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed. The Shahed-139 aircraft was flying toward the carrier “with unclear intent” when it was shot down by an F-35 fighter jet launched from the USS Lincoln “to protect the aircraft carrier and personnel on board,” the Qatar-based command said in a statement. “No American service members were harmed during the incident, and no US equipment was damaged.
