ABU DHABI - An official source from the UAE Armed Forces Headquarters has said that an F-16 Falcon Block 60 fighter plane of the UAE Air Force crashed on Monday morning. There were no casualties. The pilot landed safely after ejecting from the crashing plane.

The source said the relevant authority has quickly opened up investigations to determine the cause of the accident.
American sanctions, no doubt.
