US Navy pilots were shot down by friendly fire over the Red Sea; both ejected safely.

Two US Navy pilots were shot down over the Red Sea in an apparent "friendly fire" incident. Both pilots ejected safely, with one sustaining minor injuries. The USS Gettysburg, part of the USS Harry S. Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly targeted and hit an F/A-18 fighter jet. The incident occurred during US airstrikes targeting Yemen's Houthi rebels, amid increased military activity in the Red Sea due to Houthi attacks on shipping.
