A U.S. Air Force F-16 jet crashed in southern Germany early Tuesday but the pilot was able to eject, police said.
"The pilot escaped using a parachute, he is OK," Bavarian police spokeswoman Stefanie Püttner told NBC News.
The pilot was taken to hospital with minor injuries, according to local television channel TVO, which said the aircraft was carrying ammunition.
There were ongoing military exercises in the area close to training base at Grafenwoehr, according to Oberpfalz TV.
