WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A U.S. Navy sailor suffered minor injuries when an F-18 fighter jet and its tow tractor fell overboard from an aircraft carrier in the Red Sea, the U.S. military said on Monday.

In a statement, the Navy said that all personnel were accounted for. The carrier, the Harry Truman, is aiding strikes against the Iran-backed Houthi group in Yemen.
