A US fighter jet has crashed in Kuwait, with initial reports indicating that the pilot is safe.

According to early reports, the aircraft was an F-15 that crashed on Monday.

A video circulating on social media shows a US F-15E Strike Eagle spinning downward with flames coming from one of its engines before crashing out of view.

The pilot is reported to have survived after using an ejection seat.

However, the location and time of the incident have not been officially confirmed.

US authorities have not confirmed the video or stated the cause of the crash.

There has also been no immediate official confirmation from US or Kuwaiti authorities.

Some unverified reports suggested the aircraft may have been American, while others claimed it could have been Israeli, but these claims have not been independently confirmed.

Reports circulating with the video also mentioned the possibility of friendly fire, though no official statement has been issued by US Central Command or the Pentagon.
