US President Donald Trump said early on Tuesday that the pilots of a US Army Apache helicopter that went down near the Strait of Hormuz “are fine.” Speaking on the runway at John F. Kennedy International Airport before returning to Washington, D.C., Trump said there was “nobody injured.” The administration would issue a report later on Tuesday, he added. The New York Times reported late on Monday that a US Army Apache helicopter gunship went down near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday and its two crew members were safely rescued, citing two people briefed on the incident.

It’s unclear if the Apache helicopter was shot down by the Iranian military or went down as a result of a technical failure.
