3 US jets shot down over Kuwait by 'friendly fire,' CENTCOM says
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a Monday statement that three U.S. Air Force F-15E Strike Eagle fighter jets were "mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses" while defending against attacks by Iranian aircraft, missiles and drones.
"All six aircrew ejected safely, have been safely recovered and are in stable condition," the CENTCOM statement said. "Kuwait has acknowledged this incident, and we are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation."
"The cause of the incident is under investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available," CENTCOM added.
