At least four US service members were killed when a refueling aircraft went down in Iraq. The US military said the incident was “not due to hostile fire” but an Iranian proxy group claimed responsibility. A second plane involved in the incident landed safely.

Update: All crew members who were aboard the refueling aircraft that went down in Iraq Thursday have been confirmed dead, US Central Command announced today.

“All six crew members aboard a U.S. KC-135 refueling aircraft that went down in western Iraq are now confirmed deceased,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.
