Three US fighter jets shot down over Kuwait in friendly fire incident

Three US F-15 fighter jets were shot down over Kuwait in what officials are calling an apparent friendly fire incident. The jets were mistakenly targeted and destroyed, with video showing at least one aircraft engulfed in flames and pilots ejecting.

Initial reports from local media and officials indicate the incident happened near a US airbase in Kuwait. The event was quickly shared online, including by Iranian media outlets which circulated the video of the burning jet.

The US military has not released an official statement confirming all details, but multiple sources describe it as a tragic accident involving US forces. An investigation is likely underway to determine the exact circumstances.
