Carrier Mishap: Super Hornet Overboard Amid Red Sea Tensions

An F/A-18 fighter jet went overboard from the USS Harry S Truman, prompting pilot ejections. The incident adds to recent mishaps involving the Truman amid Red Sea tensions. Meanwhile, Yemeni Houthis assess damage from Israeli airstrikes on Sanaa airport, exacerbating conflict impacts in the region.

An F/A-18 Super Hornet jet went overboard during landing on the USS Harry S Truman aircraft carrier, forcing its two pilots to eject, as disclosed by a defense official to The Associated Press.

The aircraft landing incident marks another mishap during Truman's deployment, which has been pivotal in U.S. airstrikes against Yemen's Houthi rebels. This follows a ceasefire announcement that has yet to be acknowledged by the Houthis.

Amidst these developments, Israeli airstrikes have damaged Sanaa's airport. At least six planes, including three from Yemenia Airways, were hit. The airport is now out of service, intensifying the conflict's impact on local infrastructure.
