"European Naval Forces Defend Against Yemeni Drones in Red Sea"

A German naval frigate deployed to the Red Sea almost shot down a US drone by mistake while on a mission to protect commercial ships from attacks by Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis. The incident occurred when the frigate attempted to identify an unknown drone, which turned out to be a US Reaper reconnaissance drone. Fortunately, the missiles fired at the drone missed their target due to a technical defect. The friendly-fire incident highlighted the need for improved coordination between allies involved in various missions in the region.
