A U.S. military aircraft crashed in the eastern Mediterranean after suffering a mishap during a training exercise Friday evening, U.S. European Command said in a statement Saturday.
The command declined to say what type of aircraft was involved in the accident, how many people were aboard or whether anyone was injured or killed.
Flight tracker @EISNspotter posted Saturday on X, formerly known as Twitter, that air traffic control in Cyprus had called in military support around midnight Saturday for a helicopter that went down about 30 nautical miles from the island’s southern coast.
