Several U.S. warplanes crashed in Kuwait on Monday morning, but their crews survived, a statement from Kuwait’s Defense Ministry said.

All the pilots safely bailed out.

“Authorities immediately initiated search and rescue operations, evacuating the crews and transporting them to a hospital for medical evaluation and treatment,” the statement added, saying that the pilots’ condition is stable.

Earlier on Monday, smoke was seen rising near the US embassy in Kuwait.

The U.S. military’s Central Command has not yet commented on the incident.

Witnesses told Reuters that loud explosions were heard on Monday morning in Dubai and in Doha.

Tehran vowed to target US bases in the region in the wake of the launch of the joint US-Israeli attack on the Islamic Republic on Shabbos.
