US sources revealed to CNN that a second F-18 fighter jet from the US aircraft carrier Harry SS Truman has gone missing in the Red Sea.
The Pentagon confirmed that it is monitoring the situation after the initial announcement of another fighter jet’s loss.
CNN quoted informed US sources as saying that a second F-18 fighter jet from the aircraft carrier Harry SS Truman has gone missing in the Red Sea.
This announcement comes hours after the Pentagon confirmed the loss of another fighter jet of the same type from the same carrier.
The Pentagon clarified in a brief statement that it continues to closely monitor the situation regarding the loss of one of the F-18 fighters operating on board the Truman aircraft carrier in the Red Sea.
The statement did not provide further details about the circumstances or fate of the pilot.
CNN sources reported that the two incidents were separate, indicating that the second fighter was lost under similar circumstances to the first, without elaborating on the reasons for the loss.
The subsequent loss of two American fighter jets of the same model in the same area raises questions about the common factors between them and the outcome of the US war of aggression against Yemen.
