For the second time in just over a week, an F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter jet assigned to the USS Harry S. Truman has been lost in the Red Sea, a defense official confirmed to CBS News. The two pilots aboard the aircraft sustained minor injuries in the ordeal.

The Truman Carrier Strike Group is deployed in the Middle East to aid strikes against Iran-backed Houthi fighters in Yemen.

The U.S. Navy lost a fighter jet on Tuesday when it went overboard into the Red Sea and two aviators safely ejected from the aircraft, officials said.
