A U.S. Air Force F-35 stealth fighter crashed in Nevada on March 31 during a training mission, with the pilot ejecting safely, officials confirmed.

The jet, based at Nellis Air Force Base, went down roughly 25 miles northeast of Indian Springs within the Nevada Test and Training Range.

The pilot sustained minor injuries, and authorities emphasized the crash occurred in restricted airspace, posing no threat to civilians.

Emergency crews quickly secured the site, which remains under military control as an investigation into the cause is underway.

The F-35, an advanced and costly stealth aircraft operated by several nations, is once again under scrutiny following this training incident.
