Two U.S. Navy sailors were injured on Wednesday after a U.S. Navy destroyer and a supply ship collided in the Caribbean, military officials said.

“Yesterday afternoon, the Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer USS Truxtun (DDG103) and the Supply-class fast combat support ship USNS Supply (T-AOE-6) collided during a replenishment-at-sea,” a U.S. Southern Command spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News on Thursday. 

Two personnel reported minor injuries but are in stable condition, the official said, adding that both ships have reported sailing safely. 

The incident remains under investigation, according to the spokesperson.

The Wall Street Journal first reported the at-sea collision.
