Media reported the loss of a second US combat aircraft in a single day

The US lost a second combat aircraft in a single day during operations against Iran.

This was reported by The New York Times, citing two officials.

According to them, an A-10 Warthog attack aircraft crashed in the area of the Strait of Hormuz. This occurred at approximately the same time as a US Air Force F-15E fighter jet was shot down over Iran.

The attack aircraft's pilot was rescued, NYT reports. The sources did not specify exactly where or under what circumstances the crash occurred.
