Kuwait’s Ministry of Defence has confirmed that several United States military aircraft crashed within the country on Monday, according to a statement cited by the Kuwait News Agency.

The announcement, shared on social media, said all crew members survived the incident. Kuwaiti authorities are assisting with rescue and response operations.

The ministry did not disclose the number of aircraft involved or the cause of the crashes.

“Ministry of Defense announces that several US military aircraft crashed earlier in the day, confirming that all crew members survived the incident,” the statement said.

The development comes a day after reports that Iran targeted a U.S. military base in Kuwait in retaliation for joint airstrikes carried out by the United States and Israel on Iranian targets.

Regional tensions have escalated in recent days, with missile and drone attacks reportedly affecting U.S. facilities in countries including Qatar, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. Authorities in those countries have not released detailed damage assessments.
