Kuwait’s Ministry of Defence said “several United States military aircraft crashed” on Monday and that “all crew members survived.”
The statement comes after videos geolocated by CNN showed a fighter jet crashing in Kuwait and a pilot parachuting to the ground

“Relevant authorities immediately initiated search-and-rescue operations,” Kuwait’s defence ministry spokesperson Col. Said Al-Atwan said in the statement.
“The crews were evacuating from the crash sites and transferred to the hospital to assess their condition and provided necessary medical care,” he said, adding that they are in a “stable” condition.
Al-Atwan said Kuwait was in “direct coordination” with US authorities.
