Video: US F-15 fighter crashes over Kuwait amid Iran conflict, pilot ejects

An American F-15 fighter jet reportedly crashed over Kuwaiti airspace on Monday morning as the US–Iran conflict entered its third day, with the pilot believed to have ejected safely before impact. The cause of the crash remains unclear, though initial reports suggested possible friendly fire after the aircraft was allegedly engaged by a Patriot air defence system. Debris from the jet fell inside Kuwait’s Mina Al Ahmadi refinery, injuring two workers and prompting an emergency response, while official confirmation from US or Kuwaiti authorities on the pilot’s condition is still awaited.
