Mishap at Sea: F/A-18 Lands in Red Waters

An F/A-18 fighter jet experienced a failed landing on the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier, resulting in the aircraft going overboard in the Red Sea. The two pilots were forced to eject.

This marks another incident for the Truman, which has been a critical player in the United States' airstrike missions against Yemen's Houthi rebels. The development coincided with a ceasefire statement from President Donald Trump and Oman's foreign minister concerning Yemeni combatants.

The failure of the arrestment system—a crucial part of the aircraft landing mechanism—is under investigation. Fortunately, the pilots were rescued, sustaining only minor injuries. No injuries were reported among the crew members on the flight deck.
