Tap title to read story
An F/A-18 Super Hornet crashed into the Red Sea after a failed landing on the USS Harry S. Truman, injuring two aviators. This incident follows a pattern of undisclosed U.S. casualties in the Middle East, prompting criticism from lawmakers like Rep. Ilhan Omar who demand transparency regarding the number of troops killed or wounded in the campaign against the Houthis. The Pentagon and White House have refused to provide casualty figures, despite previous transparency under the Biden administration. Simultaneously, a ceasefire between the U.S. and Yemen's Houthis was announced, though its effectiveness and the overall success of the U.S. campaign remain questionable.
