A US Navy airman is missing after an MH-60S Sea Hawk helicopter went down in the Arabian Sea on Wednesday.

The Sea Hawk, assigned with the USS George HW Bush aircraft carrier, was forced to conduct an emergency landing at around 3:30 a.m., the US 5th Fleet said in a statement.

“There is no indication the emergency was caused by hostile action,” officials wrote on X.

Three of the helicopter’s four crew members have been recovered and are in stable condition aboard George H. W. Bush,” the 5th Fleet added.

The Navy is still searching for the missing crew member, with the incident still under investigation.
