as posted by the channel

Three U.S. jet fighters were mistakenly shot down in Kuwait, U.S. Central Command said. The six crew safely ejected from the F-15s and are in stable condition, said Centcom, which oversees U.S. military operations in the Middle East.⁠

“During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones—the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses,” it said in a statement. “We are grateful for the efforts of the Kuwaiti defense forces and their support in this ongoing operation,” Centcom said, adding that the cause was under investigation.⁠

Kuwait’s Ministry of Defense said earlier that several American warplanes were downed, with the cause of the incident being investigated.⁠
