Predictions market platform Polymarket removed a market on its site that allowed users to bet on the condition of U.S. pilots following attacks on U.S. fighter jets.

Iran forces shot down two U.S. military planes on Friday in two separate attacks, including a U.S. F-15E Strike Eagle. One American service member was rescued on Friday, while another remained missing for part of the weekend. It was the first time U.S. aircraft were downed during the ongoing war in the Gulf.
