Rare Search for Missing Navy SEALs Near Somalia
Two Navy SEALs went missing during a nighttime raid off the coast of Somalia while seizing Iranian warheads for missiles being sent to Yemen. Search-and-rescue operations are ongoing, but their chances of survival are slim. Losing SEALs at sea during overseas operations is extremely rare, with only a handful of incidents in the past. The exact number of SEALs lost at sea during missions is highly classified, and the Navy SEAL Foundation lists 125 SEAL service members who have died since 2002 while on active duty, diplomatic service, or due to service-connected injuries.
