Sharjah 24 – WAM: A plane carrying US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday made an unscheduled landing in the United Kingdom due to a crack in the aircraft's windshield, the Pentagon said.

The Pentagon added that Pete Hegseth, who was returning from a brief trip to Brussels, was safe.

"The plane landed based on standard procedures and everyone onboard, including Secretary Hegseth, is safe," Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.
