Tensions have erupted across the Middle East after U.S. Central Command confirmed that three American F-15E Strike Eagles were downed over Kuwait in what officials describe as an apparent friendly fire incident. The aircraft were supporting Operation Epic Fury during intense combat involving Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drone attacks. U.S. officials say Kuwaiti air defences mistakenly targeted the jets amid the chaos. All six aircrew members ejected safely and were recovered in stable condition. Meanwhile, Iran claims its air defences shot down an American fighter jet near its airspace. Investigations are underway as regional tensions escalate sharply. Watch
