No military personnel were injured and no other vehicles or infrastructure used by Italian forces were damaged.
"During the attack, an Italian F-2000 aircraft was hit. It was inside the base, in a remote area. There is no other damage to vehicles or infrastructure used by our personnel," Crosetto said.
Crosetto said he has requested updates on the situation, the condition of Italian personnel and possible operational options.

He said the situation is being closely monitored to ensure the safety of Italian personnel and allow operations to continue responsibly.
Separately, the Italian Navy said the frigate Carlo Bergamini, deployed as part of the European Union's Operation Aspides, escorted the Italian merchant vessel Jolly Oro through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait during a northbound transit.
The navy said the escort was conducted in response to security requirements for commercial shipping in the area and was part of the duties assigned to naval forces participating in Operation Aspides.
It described the operation as a timely signal of the importance of maintaining strong security measures for commercial shipping in the region.
Saudi Arabia has faced a series of missile and drone attacks attributed to the Houthis in recent days amid escalating regional tensions.
Fighting between Yemeni government forces and the Houthis has also intensified since early July, ending a period of relative calm that had largely continued since a UN-brokered truce took effect in April 2022.
