Two U.S. Navy pilots were shot down over the Red Sea in an incident attributed to friendly fire. They ejected from their F/A-18 Super Hornet and were found alive, with one sustaining minor injuries. The incident highlights ongoing dangers in the region amid Houthi attacks.

The aircraft was part of a mission involving U.S. airstrikes against Houthi rebels. The USS Gettysburg mistakenly fired on the F/A-18, which had just launched from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier.
