Kuwait ‘mistakenly’ shoots down 3 US F-15s: Pentagon
Kuwait reportedly shot down three U.S. F-15 fighter jets after strikes against Iran, according to Centcom. The incident occurred Sunday, with Centcom stating the losses were due to a mistaken air defense response.
The Pentagon said the event involved a miscalculation during ongoing hostilities, and that the U.S. is assessing the situation and coordinating with Kuwaiti authorities. No immediate details on casualties or aircraft status were provided.
Officials emphasized that the U.S. and Kuwaiti forces are committed to de-escalation and continuing operations with caution to prevent further incidents.
