A U.S. Navy helicopter crashed on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the Philippine Sea Friday.
A service statement said the MH-60 Seahawk crashed shortly after taking off from the USS Ronald Reagan around 9 a.m.
Twelve service members were reportedly injured in the accident.
While no one sustained life-threatening injuries, several personnel were medically evacuated to a hospital in the Philippines. The Navy is investigating the cause of the incident and has since resumed operations on board the ship.
The USS Ronald Reagan, which operates as part of the Navy's 7th Fleet based out of Japan, is the U.S.' only forward-deployed aircraft carrier.
