US Air Force Aircraft Crashes in Eastern Mediterranean: Pentagon
00:11 12.11.2023 (Updated: 11:07 12.11.2023) MOSCOW (Sputnik) – After the Palestinian Hamas movement launched its latest attack on Israel on October 7, Israel declared a state of war, launched a large-scale operation in response and ordered a blockade of the Gaza Strip. Since then, the US has deployed an aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean.
A US military aircraft crashed in the eastern Mediterranean on November 10, while conducting training operations, the US European Command (USEUCOM) said on Saturday, adding that the cause of the incident is under investigation.
"On the evening of November 10, a US military aircraft conducting training operations in the eastern Mediterranean suffered a mishap and went down. Out of respect for the families affected, we will not release further information on the personnel involved at this time. The cause of the training incident is currently under investigation," USEUCOM said in a statement.
The crash was "purely related to training," the statement also said, adding that there were no indications of "hostile activity".
Following the attacks on Israel in October, the
US military has deployed the USS Gerald R. Ford Carrier Strike Group to the eastern Mediterranean.
Earlier, it became known that Yemeni Houthi rebels with the help of air
defense shot down the US drone MQ9.
The Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7. The next day, the Jewish government launched a targeted military retaliation and imposed a complete blockade on the Gaza Strip, home to some 2 million Palestinians. On October 27, Tel Aviv started a large-scale ground incursion into Gaza.
