US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth's plane made an unscheduled landing in the UK, during a return flight headed for the US, the Pentagon said on X.
The plane carrying Hegseth on his way back from Nato's Defence Minister meeting in Belgium had a "crack in the aircraft windshield".
"The plane landed based on standard procedures and everyone onboard, including Secretary Hegseth, is safe," the government said.
Hegseth later wrote after landing: "All good. Thank God. Continue mission!"
The plane was off the coast of southern Ireland when it decided to turn back and landed at Royal Air Force Mildenhall.
