Several American military aircraft crashed in Kuwait on Monday amid rising tensions in the Iran-US conflict. Kuwait’s Defence Ministry said all crew members were safely rescued and taken to hospital, and their condition is stable. The number and type of aircraft were not officially confirmed, though Iranian media claimed a US F-15E fighter jet went down. Videos circulating online show pilots ejecting and landing by parachute in desert areas. The incidents come as Iran continues missile and drone attacks in retaliation for recent US-Israeli strikes on Iranian military targets. Emergency services also responded to smoke reported near the US Embassy in Kuwait City.
