WASHINGTON — A U.S. A-10 aircraft has been hit by Iranian air defenses, Iranian state media reported, citing Iran's Army public relations office.
The Associated Press reported earlier that a second U.S. Air Force combat aircraft had gone down in the Middle East on Friday.
No other information was immediately known; however, some sources say the lone pilot has been rescued. The Pentagon and White House did not immediately comment.
The A-10, also known by the nickname Warthog, is a single-seat aircraft.
