A US Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jet has reportedly crashed in Kuwait, with unverified social media videos showing a pilot ejecting moments before impact. Regional sources suggest the American pilot survived, with footage appearing to show him receiving assistance on the ground before being transported to an undisclosed location. Preliminary reports hint at a possible friendly fire incident, though no official confirmation exists. The US Air Force has not yet released any statement. The incident occurs amid heightened regional military activity following US-Israeli strikes on Iran under Operation Epic Fury, with Iran warning of further retaliatory escalation across the Gulf.
