An American fighter plane worth more than half a billion kronor has fallen overboard from the aircraft carrier Harry S Truman in the Red Sea.

According to a statement from the US Navy, the aircraft, a Boeing F/A-18E Super Hornet model, was being towed when the tractor pulling it lost control – which resulted in both ending up in the water and sinking. One person was lightly injured.

An aircraft of this type is valued at approximately 570 million kronor.
