KUWAIT CITY : A United States F-15 fighter jet crashed in Kuwait on Monday morning amid the rapidly escalating conflict in the Gulf. Footage from the scene showed the pilot successfully ejecting from the aircraft moments before it hit the ground.
While the exact cause of the crash remains under investigation, early unconfirmed reports suggest the possibility of “friendly fire” during the ongoing missile and drone interceptions in the region. It is currently unclear if the jet was on a combat sortie or a routine training mission, as neither U.S. Central Command nor the Pentagon has issued a formal statement. This incident follows reports of explosions and smoke near the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait earlier today. (economictimes)
