> While downing the first drone – believed to be launched by the Iranian-backed Houthis in Yemen – [the destroyer USS] Carney saw a ballistic missile land near MV Unity Explorer, a Bahamian-flagged bulk carrier. The destroyer then sailed to the bulk carrier once it put out a distress call. According to an initial account of the incident, several hours later, Carney was evaluating the damage to the carrier when it shot down another drone.
