An US aircraft has crashed in Iraq, the American military has confirmed.

A military KC-135 refuelling plane went down after an "incident" involving two aircraft, with "hostile fire or friendly fire" not involved.

US Central Command says "rescue efforts are ongoing" in western Iraq - what the military describes as "friendly airspace".

The second aircraft involved in the incident landed safely, a statement adds.
