Kuwait ‘mistakenly’ shot down three US fighter jets, all crew safely ejected: military

Three US F-15s involved in the attack on Iran were shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses in a case of friendly fire, the American military’s Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement early Monday.

All six crew members on board the planes were able to eject safely and are in stable condition.
