US says Kuwait accidentally shot down 3 American jets

“The cause of the incident is under investigation,” says U.S. Central Command.

U.S. Central Command said Monday that Kuwait mistakenly shot down three American fighter jets, as war rages in the Middle East. "At 11:03 p.m. ET, March 1, three U.S. F-15E Strike Eagles flying in support of Operation Epic Fury went down over Kuwait due to an apparent friendly fire incident," Central Command said in a statement. "During active combat—that included attacks from Iranian aircraft, ballistic missiles, and drones — the U.S. Air Force fighter jets were mistakenly shot down by Kuwaiti air defenses," it added.

I was cleaning out my google drive and found a folder called H-Dubs which turned out to be that time me and my cousin decided to get in on the "whole song lyrics as ao3 titles" meme, except we used HW Bush's comments on Iraq's invasion of Kuwait in 1990, but we were going to have to request the audio from the presidential library and never got around to it. So here, in only its partial glory:
