Two US airmen have been reported missing Monday after a helicopter crashed in the Red Sea late Sunday, according to the Associated Press.

Three members from the MH-60S Knighthawk were rescued yesterday, but aircraft and boat vessels are still searching for the remaining two airmen.

The aircraft was part of the Bahrain-based 5th Fleet. The US Navy reported that no hostile activity was involved.
