US Army Apache Goes Down Near Hormuz, No Casualties: Trump

Bangla Press Desk:   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, DC, Trump ⁠said there was "nobody injured."

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 was not immediately clear whether the Apache was shot ​down by ​Iranian ⁠fire, experienced mechanical failure or encountered some other problem, the ​report said.

The US Department of ​State ⁠and US Central Command did not immediately respond to requests for comment from ⁠Reuters.
