US army says two navy pilots shot down over Red Sea in ‘friendly fire’
Two US Navy pilots were shot down over the Red Sea in a friendly fire incident, according to the US military. Yemen's Houthi fighters claimed responsibility for targeting the USS Harry S Truman, asserting they shot down an F-18 aircraft. CENTCOM confirmed the pilots were rescued and stated the incident was not due to hostile fire. The Houthis have been attacking Israel-linked ships, claiming solidarity with Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu vowed retaliation against the Houthis following missile attacks on Tel Aviv.
