Two U.S. Navy SEALs Missing Off Somalia Coast After Nighttime Boarding Mission

Two U.S. Navy SEALs are missing off the coast of Somalia after falling into the water during a nighttime boarding mission. The reason for boarding the vessel remains unclear, and search operations are ongoing.

The Gulf of Aden, where the incident occurred, has seen increased U.S. Naval activity due to Houthi militants’ attacks on commercial ships.

The missing sailors were conducting operations in the area, with details withheld for operational security. Nighttime boarding operations are described as complex and dangerous, with constant monitoring of ocean conditions and environmental factors.
