Rescue effort under way as US military refueling plane crashes in Iraq | US military

A US military refueling plane crashed in western Iraq on Thursday in an incident that US Central Command said involved another aircraft but was not the result of enemy or friendly fire.

The USA sent many aircraft to the Middle East to participate in operations against Iran.

In the statement made by the US Central Command, it was stated that rescue efforts continued after the US KC-135 refueling plane crashed. The second plane landed safely.

In the statement made using the name of the US operation against Iran, it was said: “The incident occurred in friendly airspace during Operation Epic Fury and rescue efforts are continuing.”

Seven US soldiers have been killed since the US and Israel began attacks against Iran on February 28.

Reuters reported on Tuesday that some 150 US soldiers were injured in the US-Israeli war against Iran.
