Three U.S. soldiers were killed in the Jan. 28 drone attack on a U.S. outpost in northeastern Jordan called Tower 22.
A defense official said the interception was safe and professional. However, it comes at a time of increasing tension between the U.S. and Russia.
Nearly 40 Guardsmen have received Purple Hearts for injuries sustained in the January drone attack, officials said.
The military grounded Ospreys after a fatal crash in November 2023, and Air Force Special Operations Command is gradually returning them to the air.
