WASHINGTON (AP) — Two U.S. Navy SEALs are missing after conducting a nighttime boarding mission Thursday off the coast of Somalia, according to three U.S. officials.

The SEALs were on an interdiction mission, climbing up a vessel when one got knocked off by high waves. Under their protocol, when one SEAL is overtaken the next jumps in after them.

Both SEALs are still missing. A search and rescue mission is underway and the waters in the Gulf of Aden, where they were operating, are warm, two of the U.S. officials said.

The U.S. Navy has conducted regular interdiction missions, where they have intercepted weapons on ships that were bound for Houthi-controlled Yemen.

Funniest part is they got owned by either Somali fishermen or Houthi fighters. Also the US are such fkn hypocrites to scream about Yemenis interdictions off the coast of Yemen when the US has been covertly doing it in the same area for the past decade. This isn't US waters, ridiculous. The US only ever talks about it when their SEAL teams get owned and there are too many questions.
