Kuwait says 'several' US warplanes have crashed in the country, with all the crew surviving

Several American warplanes crashed in Kuwait this morning, the country’s defence ministry said.

All the pilots bailed out safely and are been checked up on at a hospital, according to the ministry. They are all in a stable condition.

It is not immediately clear what caused the US warplanes to crash but the incident came during an intense period of Iranian fire targeting the country.

The defence ministry said it is continuing investigations into the “causes of the incident”.

It's just a mystery. Several planes crash with the pilots having bailed out during a heavy "enemy" attack. What could possibly have caused that.....

Maybe, just maybe they got lit up over Iran and crawled back into a friendly territory to bale out? Or maybe they got hit over Kuwait which is ever more embarrassing.
