Accidents Occur Successively in U.S. Military Forces in the Caribbean Sea
参考消息网2月14日报道 据美联社2月13日报道，美国军方12日报告了近期发生的两起与美国在加勒比海大规模集结部队有关的重大事故：一名海军陆战队员坠海身亡，两艘海军舰艇相撞致两名水兵受轻伤。
美国海军陆战队在一份新闻稿中说，21岁的准下士舒库韦梅卡·奥福拉7日从“硫磺岛”号两栖攻击舰上坠落。
军方动用了五艘海军舰艇、10架飞机和一架空军“死神”无人机，进行了“72小时不间断的广泛搜救行动”，但10日宣布奥福拉死亡。
另据新加坡《联合早报》网站2月12日报道，美国一艘军舰和一艘海军补给舰在加勒比海进行舰对舰加油作业时发生碰撞，造成两人轻伤。
“阿利·伯克”级驱逐舰“特拉克斯顿”号和“供应”号补给舰11日在海上执行补给任务时发生碰撞，造成两人轻伤。
美军南方司令部发言人伊曼纽尔·奥尔蒂斯上校说，两名伤员情况稳定，当局正在调查这起事故的原因。
美国总统特朗普下令在加勒比海大规模集结兵力为其打击贩毒的行动提供支持，涉事舰艇均在当地参与行动。
