US warship shoots down its own navy fighter jet over Red Sea in 'friendly fire'

The guided missile cruiser USS Gettysburg mistakenly fired on and hit the F/A-18, said the US military's Central Command recovered alive after ejecting from their stricken aircraft, with one suffering minor injuries. But the shootdown underlines just how dangerous the Red Sea corridor has become over the ongoing attacks on shipping by the Iranian-backed Houthis despite US and European military coalitions patrolling the area. The US military had ducted airstrikes targeting Yemen's Houthi rebels at the time, though the US military's Central Command did not elaborate on what their mission was and did not immediately respond to questions from The Associated Press.

Rohit's insipid captaincy lets Australia take control

It was a slow trudge out, with head bowed, for India's captain Rohit Sharma. The imagery just fit. He had just been dismissed for 3, trying to play a tentative pull shot that was a cross between something you play in gully cricket and how a tailender usually responds to a short ball.
