A search continues for the fourth and final crew member.
There is “no indication” the helicopter was shot down by hostile action, the military said. The helicopter is assigned to the USS George H.W. Bush.
“Three of the helicopter’s four crew members have been recovered and are in stable condition aboard George H. W. Bush,” U.S. Naval Forces Central Command said. “U.S. Navy assets in the region are currently searching for [the] other aircrewman still missing.”
This is a developing story and will be updated.
