The fighter jet was taking off from the US aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman when another missile carrier in the US Navy fleet, the USS Gettysburg, fired a missile at the aircraft.


CENTCOM said that both pilots were able to safely eject from the plane and that one pilot suffered minor injuries.


According to the statement, a full investigation into the incident is underway.


US forces are deployed in the region due to threats from the Iran-backed Houthi militia in Yemen. On Saturday, the army once again bombed Houthi positions near the Yemeni capital Sanaa.


In addition, several Houthi drones and cruise missiles were also shot down in the Red Sea.


Since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas on October 7, 2023, the Houthis have regularly launched rockets and drone attacks on targets in Israel and ships in the Red Sea.


The US military targets Houthi installations and weapons systems. In addition to the US, other Western countries such as the UK are also involved in operations to prevent such attacks by the Houthis.
