US Secretary of Defence Pete Hegseth’s plane made an emergency landing in the United Kingdom after a crack appeared in the aircraft’s windshield during his return flight from a NATO meeting in Belgium.
The Pentagon confirmed on X that the plane carrying U.S. Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth was forced to land in the UK while en route to the United States. The aircraft developed a “crack in the windshield” mid-flight, prompting the crew to turn back and land safely.
According to officials, the aircraft diverted over the southern coast of Ireland before landing at Royal Air Force Mildenhall in England. “The plane landed based on standard procedures and everyone onboard, including Secretary Hegseth, is safe,” the Pentagon stated.
After the incident, Hegseth posted on X: “All good. Thank God. Continue mission!”
Hegseth had been returning from a NATO Defence Ministers’ meeting in Belgium, where discussions focused on ongoing security assistance for Ukraine.
