A US Navy MQ-4C Triton surveillance drone disappeared over the Strait of Hormuz after sending an emergency signal, code 7700, and falling from 50,000 feet. There is no confirmation, debris, or official statement on the incident. The drone, built by Northrop Grumman and valued at over $200 million, was operating in a key global oil route where nearly 20 percent of supply passes. The incident comes during a US-Iran ceasefire, with limited shipping activity in the region. No country has claimed responsibility. The loss adds to existing US military casualties, equipment losses, and ongoing regional tensions.
