Missing Sailors Confirmed to Be Navy SEALs Lost During Boarding Mission
Two Navy SEALS remain missing two days after they went missing during a boarding operation off the coast of Somalia in the Gulf of Aden, according to new reports.
The report from ABC, which was based on three U.S. officials it did not name, said a search and rescue mission was still under way as of Saturday.
The SEALs were on what ABC called an “interdiction mission” on Thursday in the Gulf of Aden, between Somalia and Yemen, according to ABC.
While climbing up the side of a vessel to board it, a SEAL was knocked into the sea by high waves.
An official CNN did not name said the incident took place while there were eight-foot swells on the sea.
