A NATO fighter jet caught fire during an emergency landing at a Greek airport, according to officials. The F-16 aircraft made the emergency landing at Zakynthos (Zante) Airport following an in-flight fire indication while on a training mission on Thursday afternoon.

The pilot of the F-16, which belonged to the 116th Fighter Wing at Araxos, safely landed and was reported to be in good health after the incident. The Air Force General Staff initially reported that the aircraft was conducting a training mission over the wider Ionian Sea region when it diverted to the airport.

Emergency services are currently dealing with the situation, resulting in the closure of the runway. Firefighters are on the scene, and flights have been canceled as reported by local outlet Ermis News. An investigation into the cause of the incident is underway by the Air Force.
