An Israeli Navy missile boat shot down a drone over the Red Sea a short while ago, the military says.

According to the IDF, the drone was launched at Israel “from the east,” a term used to describe attacks from Iraq.

The drone was shot down before entering Israeli airspace, the military says, and therefore sirens did not sound.
