NYT: Second US plane said to have crashed in Persian Gulf

 A second US plane was said to have crashed in the Persian Gulf region earlier today, the New York Times reported on Friday, citing two US officials who wanted to remain anonymous. The news followed the reports of Iran downing another US plane, later identified as an F-15E strike fighter.

The second jet, the A-10 Warthog subsonic attack aircraft, crashed near the waters of the Persian Gulf, and its lone pilot was rescued, the sources stated. Furthermore, the incident occurred at roughly the same time as the shooting of the F-15E plane inside Iranian airspace, although it remained unclear whether the A-10 was hit by enemy fire.

Meanwhile, one of the pilots aboard the F-15E was rescued, while search operations are still ongoing to locate and extract the second crew member.
