**WASHINGTON, D.C. –** The United States military has experienced significant losses in recent weeks, with seven MQ-9 Reaper drones lost in the Yemen area since March 15th and a costly warplane falling into the Red Sea, officials confirmed Monday. The loss of the seven multi-million-dollar drones represents a substantial blow to US military operations in the region. A US official disclosed the drone losses while the Navy separately announced the accidental loss of a fighter jet from an aircraft carrier. Details surrounding the circumstances of both incidents are currently limited, but investigations are underway to determine the causes of the losses. The combined cost of the lost aircraft and drones is expected to be tens, if not hundreds, of millions of dollars.
