Imefahamika kuwa ndege ya pili ya kivita ya Marekani katika wiki moja ilikuwa imedondoka ndani ya bahari nyekundu muda mfupi tu kabla ya raisi Trump kutangaza kusitisha vita.
Msemaji wa jeshi la Marekani amesema ndege hiyo ilipata mkasa huo wakati ikijaribu kutua kwenye deki la meli ya USS Truman bila kueleza sababu ya kushindwa kwake kutua.
Tayari meli hiyo ilikuwa inarudishwa nyumbani haraka kutokana na kupata athari nyingi wakati wa mapambano na wanamgambo wa Houth.
Inawezekana meli hiyo imeanza kukosa ukazi sawa (balance) ndani ya bahari huku wanamgambo wa Houth wakiwa wanaendelea kuifuata nyuma kwa makombora ya ballistic na droni wakinuia kuizamisha kabisha.
======================================
Another Navy fighter jet sank to the bottom of the Red Sea on Tuesday following the second such mishap aboard the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier in just over a week, a U.S. official told ABC News.
The F/A-18 F fighter jet was attempting a nighttime landing onto the deck of the carrier when the crew was unable to stop it in time before going off the side, according to the official. When the “failed arrestment” of the aircraft became apparent, the two pilots ejected.
Both of the pilots were recovered and early indications are that they suffered minor injuries, the official said. No other injuries were reported.
The incident happened at 8:45 p.m. local time in the Red Sea, according to the official. It was not immediately unclear what led to the failed arrestment during the landing.
The incident is the fourth major mishap involving the carrier since it deployed last year, including when another F/A-18 jet fell off the side of the Truman just eight days ago. That jet was being towed in the hangar bay when the crew lost control of the aircraft, which then tumbled off the side along with the tow truck.
An investigation into the April 28 incident remains underway. F/A-18 jets cost some $70 million each.
