Three American F-15E Strike Eagle fighters, conducting missions as part of Operation 'Epic Fury', were mistakenly shot down over Kuwait, reports US Central Command.

"At 11:03 PM Eastern Time on March 1, three American F-15E Strike Eagle fighters, conducting missions as part of Operation 'Epic Fury', crashed over Kuwait due to a suspected 'friendly fire' incident," the statement said.
