The Navy has identified two crew members missing and later pronounced dead after an EA-18G Growler fighter jet crashed in Washington state last week. Naval aviator Lt. Serena “Doug” Wileman, 31, and naval flight officer Lt. Cmdr. Lindsay “Miley” Evans, 31, of California, was found dead Tuesday after a routine training flight crashed into rugged terrain east of Mount Rainier, the Navy said.

The most advanced US air defense systems the Pentagon rushed to Israel are now “in place,” according to Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. The Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system deploys 100 U.S. troops for operations in Israel and is intended to strengthen the country's anti-missile defenses following an attack from Iran earlier this month. “The THAAD system is in place,” Austin told reporters on the way.

The White House said Monday that President Biden remains “deeply concerned” about the leak of classified Pentagon documents detailing Israel's preparations for an attack on Iran and a possible Iranian counterattack. White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters that the Pentagon's investigation aims to “understand how the information became public.”
