Five killed in Iran in strikes during US pilot rescue: Iranian media

Strikes killed five people overnight in Iran's southwest during the rescue of a missing U.S. crewmember of a downed American fighter jet, Iranian media reported Sunday.

"Five people were martyred in last night's attack on the Kouh-e Siah area" in southwestern Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province, the Tasnim news agency cited provincial official Iraj Kazemijou as saying.

He said the killings took place while the U.S. was trying to find "the pilot or pilots" of the downed fighter jet.
