According to US media, the pilot was able to eject, but upon landing he received numerous injuries. He was taken to hospital at the American military base Camp Lemonier. In the near future he will be sent for treatment in the United States.
On earth, there are no victims in connection with the crash of the American aircraft.

It should be noted that Djibouti is actually turning into a proving ground of confrontation between the USA and China. The Chinese are deploying their infrastructure in this strategically important Africa, which they could not disregard in Washington. In recent years, the number of American troops in Djibouti has reached thousands of 4 people.
