A US Navy F/A-18 Hornet was accidentally shot down over the Red Sea by the guided-missile cruiser USS Gettysburg in what officials have confirmed as a “friendly fire” incident.

The incident resulted in the two crew members ejecting safely, though one of them sustained minor injuries.

In a statement released by US Central Command, the incident was described as an unintentional error.

“The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18,” the statement read.

The affected jet was deployed from an aircraft carrier operating in the region.

Although, it remains unclear whether it was directly involved in ongoing military operations in Yemen at the time.

This incident occurred in the aftermath of recent US airstrikes targeting Iran-backed Houthi militant positions in Sanaa, Yemen’s capital.

The strikes were aimed at disrupting Houthi activities that pose significant threats to international shipping routes in the Red Sea and its surrounding areas.

The Houthis, a well-armed group with backing from Tehran, have been known to target commercial vessels and military assets in the region, escalating tensions with the United States and its allies.
