Kuwait confirms crash of US military aircraft near air base
Kuwait’s defence ministry has confirmed that several American military aircraft crashed on Monday, though all crew members reportedly survived. The incident occurred as conflict in the region intensified, with explosions reported across major Gulf cities including Dubai and Doha. Meanwhile, the UK Ministry of Defence is relocating families from RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus following a drone strike on the base. Tensions remain high as Israel and Hezbollah exchange fire and oil supplies face disruption.
