In a troubling incident over the Red Sea, two US Navy pilots were shot down by friendly fire during operations targeting Houthi rebels in Yemen. The U.S. military confirmed that a Super Hornet fighter jet, specifically an F/A-18, was mistakenly downed by their own forces while executing airstrikes in the region. Fortunately, both pilots ejected safely and were recovered unharmed. This friendly fire incident marks a significant operational error amidst ongoing military actions.
