The United States Navy has officially commenced a search for two missing Navy SEALs.
The two Navy SEALs went missing a couple of days ago at the Gulf of Aden near Somalia’s shores.
On Monday, further details regarding the missing SEALs emerged.
Apparently, they sought to board a vessel before taking it over.
At the time, the vessel was transporting components for Iranian ballistic missiles.
The vessel has a history of transporting illegal military weapons from Iran to Somalia.
The high sea waves knocked one SEAL as they attempted to board the vessel.
He was knocked into the sea at around 8pm. His colleague then jumped to save him.
Both SEALs have been missing since then.
Now, the Navy has deployed ships and aircraft to comb the area in search of the SEALs.
