US sea drone rescues helicopter crew off Oman

A US sea drone successfully rescued two crew members from a downed US Army helicopter off the coast of Oman earlier this week, marking the first publicly acknowledged instance of an unmanned vessel conducting such a mission. The US military confirmed the rescue operation. However, President Donald Trump asserted that the Apache helicopter was shot down by Iran near the Strait of Hormuz, a strategically important waterway. The report itself did not corroborate the cause of the helicopter's downing, only stating it was "downed." The Strait of Hormuz has recently faced disruptions to shipping.
