A U.S. Air Force refueler crashed in Iraq on Thursday following an obvious accident involving the KC-135 tanker and one other plane, army officers stated in a information launch.

U.S. Central Command, which oversees army operations within the Middle East, stated its transient assertion that the second plane landed safely and that “rescue efforts are ongoing.” The assertion doesn’t disclose whether or not there are confirmed fatalities, saying, “We ask for continued patience to gather additional details and provide clarity for the families of service members.”
