Kuwait: Several American warplanes crashed in Kuwait on Monday morning, though all crew members survived, the country’s defence ministry has confirmed, as Iran continued its third day of strikes in the Gulf.

“Several US warplanes crashed this morning. We can confirm that all crew members survived,” a defence ministry spokesperson said, adding that the cause of the incident is under investigation.

“Authorities immediately launched search and rescue operations, evacuating the crews and transporting them to the hospital for medical assessment and treatment. Their condition is stable,” the statement added.
