No one was killed or seriously injured when multiple U.S. military aircraft crashed in Kuwait on Monday morning, authorities there said. <\/p>\n

Kuwait\u2019s army confirmed that the crews from several U.S. aircraft were quickly rescued and evacuated to hospitals in stable condition. <\/p>\n

U.S. Central Command did not immediately respond to questions about the type of aircraft or the circumstances of the crashes. <\/p>\n

Social media videos <\/a>posted early Monday appeared to show a pilot ejecting from an F-15 over Kuwait after taking fire. <\/p>\n

Kuwait continues to experience sustained attacks as the region entered day three of Operation Epic Fury. Iran over the weekend struck a base housing American troops in Kuwait that killed three U.S. Army soldiers<\/a>, according to reporting from NBC<\/a> and The Washington Post<\/a>. The Pentagon has not provided further details about the circumstances of their deaths. <\/p>\n

The U.S. has historically deployed troops to multiple locations in Kuwait, including Camp Arifjan, Camp Buehring and Ali Al-Salem Air Base, which was targeted by ballistic missiles<\/a> on Saturday, according to Kuwait\u2019s military. <\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait on Monday said there is a continuing threat of missile and drone attacks <\/a>and warned the public not to come to the embassy. U.S. personnel there are sheltering in place and the embassy advised all U.S. citizens in Kuwait to do the same. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"No one was killed or seriously injured when multiple U.S. military aircraft crashed in Kuwait on Monday morning,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":499152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[227916,4,450,227914,227915,227917,451,227913,3,452,453,227911,227912],"class_list":["post-499151","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-ali-al-salem-air-base","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-camp-arifjan","tag-camp-buehring","tag-f15e-strike-eagle","tag-headlines","tag-kuwait-iran-attacks","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories","tag-us-aircraft-kuwait","tag-us-bases-kuwait"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=499151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/499151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/499152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=499151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=499151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=499151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
