A Navy F/A-18 Hornet crashed into the Philippine Sea on Nov. 12, said the military in a statement.

Both of its pilots ejected, were rescued, and are in good condition, the U.S. Navy’s 7th Fleet wrote in the statement. The plane crashed due to an unspecified “mechanical issue” while “conducting routine operations in the Philippine Sea,” the statement read.
