US Strikes on Iran (Operation Epic Fury)

[Thumpalumpacus]

Four crew members have been confirmed dead after an American refuelling aircraft crashed in Iraq, the US military has said.

In a post on X on Friday morning, the US Central Command (Centcom) said that 'four of the six crew members on board the aircraft have been confirmed deceased.'

It comes after Centcom announced on Thursday that a KC-135 refuelling plane had gone down in 'friendly airspace' and a second aircraft involved in the incident landed safely.

It comes after a major blaze appears to have broken out at a French air base in Erbil, Iraq, following a drone attack.

A helicopter was apparently hit and at least six French soldiers were injured. President Emmanuel Macron confirmed early this morning that one had died.
