A chemical tanker in the Indian Ocean was hit by a drone launched from Iran on Saturday, the US military said.
A fire on board the Chem Pluto was extinguished. There were no casualties.
Iran has not commented.

But this event is the first of its kind so far away from there, according to maritime security firm Ambrey.
