The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) reported on Friday (January 12) that two US Navy sailors have been missing off the coast of Somalia since Thursday.
The names of the sailors have not been released for security reasons.
These navy personnel were deployed in the operational area of the US Navy's 5th Fleet.
Currently, search and rescue operations are underway to locate the missing sailors, and additional information will be withheld until the personnel recovery operation is complete.
"The sailors were forward-deployed to the U.S. 5th Fleet (C5F) area of operations supporting a wide variety of missions," the U.S. Central Command said.
