Two more US military aircraft were downed in the Middle East on Friday, in addition to an F-15E Strike Eagle that crashed earlier. 

An A-10 Warthog reportedly went down contemporaneously with the crash of the F-15, according to the New York Times.

Officials have not stated the cause of the crash or the country where it occurred, but it reportedly occurred near the Strait of Hormuz.

The pilot was safely rescued.
