About this listen
The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), overseeing American military operations in the Middle East, confirmed the incident today. The downed aircraft belonged to the USS Harry S. Truman’s carrier strike group. Specific details regarding the time and location remain undisclosed.
"Both pilots safely ejected and were rescued. Preliminary assessments indicate one suffered minor injuries. The aircraft was not downed by hostile fire, and a comprehensive investigation is underway," CENTCOM stated.
The U.S. Naval Institute (USNI) later cited military officials reporting the incident occurred at 3 a.m. local time (7 a.m. Hanoi time). Although the squadron operating the aircraft was not explicitly mentioned, the jet likely belonged to Strike Fighter Squadron 11, the only unit aboard the USS Harry S. Truman equipped with F/A-18F fighters.
