US P-8A patrols Arabian Sea off Yemen

A US Navy P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft, with callsign AE688D, is conducting a surveillance mission over the Arabian Sea. The aircraft is operating offshore of Taqah, a coastal town in Yemen's Al Mahrah Governorate. The flight originated from Djibouti, a key US logistics hub in the Horn of Africa, and is actively tracking maritime activity in the region. This patrol occurs amid ongoing regional tensions and US naval operations in the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Aden.
