A U.S. Marine Corps fighter jet suffered a mishap Wednesday, prompting its pilot to eject, according to a military news release.
Search-and-rescue teams are looking for the pilot, who ejected southeast of Japan's Shikoku island, the military said. The F/A-18 was part of the 1st Marine Aircraft Wing based in Okinawa, Japan and was flying a regularly scheduled training mission.
It's not clear what the cause of the crash was.
