Two US navy pilots were shot down over the Red Sea on Sunday in an apparent “friendly fire” incident, the American military said.
They were recovered alive, with one suffering minor injuries.
The incident underlines just how dangerous the Red Sea corridor has become after a year of attacks on shipping by the Houthis, who rule much of Yemen, despite US and European militaries patrolling the area and, along with Israel, repeatedly bombing the Arab country.

“The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg, which is part of the USS Harry S Truman Carrier Strike Group, mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18, which was flying off the USS Harry S Truman,” the US military’s Central Command said in a statement.
I assume the Ships changed course away of this conflict. Do we have alternative plans for Peace other than bombing our way in and out? Just a thought.
