This is the second jet lost by the US Navy in just over a week, with no details provided on the cause of the mishap.
The agency also reported a Houthi attack on the carrier, citing sources, despite the ceasefire announced by Oman with the Yemeni movement.
Oman's Foreign Ministry earlier reported the US and Houthis agreed to a ceasefire mediated by the sultanate. The Houthis agree to halt attacks on US ships in the Red Sea and the Bab Al-Mandab Strait, the Foreign Ministry of Oman says.
