Several American warplanes crashed in Kuwait this morning but their crews survived, Kuwait’s defense ministry says, as Iran pressed on with a third day of strikes in the Gulf.
“Several US warplanes crashed this morning. Confirming that all crew members survived,” a defense ministry spokesman says in a statement, adding that the cause was under investigation.
“Authorities immediately initiated search and rescue operations, evacuating the crews and transporting them to a hospital for medical evaluation and treatment,” the statement adds.
He noted that their condition is stable.
Videos on social media appeared to show an F-15 crashing with a pilot ejecting.
