An American AH-64 Apache helicopter gunship went down near the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, but both crew members were rescued, The New York Times reported.

It remains unclear whether the helicopter was shot down, or whether the crash occurred due to a technical malfunction. The incident is under investigation.

U.S. President Trump told reporters early Tuesday that the crew members were fine. He did not provide further details, saying that a report on the incident would be issued soon.
