Two Qatari military planes collide on training mission
The ministry did not identify the types of aircraft involved in Wednesday's collision.
It says the pilots were safe after ejecting, without elaborating.
Qatar, a small nation on the Arabian Peninsula, has been targeted by a four-nation boycott for over two years now over a political dispute.
The blockading nations - Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt - have stopped Qatar Airways flights from using their airspace, closed off the small country's sole land border with Saudi Arabia and blocked its ships from using their ports.
Qatar is home to the massive Al-Udeid Air Base, which hosts US Central Command's forward headquarters and thousands of American troops.
Lt. Col. Christine D. Millette of US Air Force Central Command says American officials are "aware of the Qatari midair collision, but we have not been asked for support at this time."
