At least 10 U.S. troops were injured Friday, two seriously, in an Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The strike on the heavily defended base also damaged at least two U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft, the officials said. They spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the incident with the news media. It was not immediately clear how badly the planes were damaged.
Iran has hit numerous U.S. facilities throughout the region since hostilities began Feb. 28, and more than 300 U.S. troops have been wounded, according to the Pentagon’s latest tally. Most of the injured have returned to duty, though at least 10 troops remain seriously hurt, an official said.
To date, 13 American service members have been killed as a result of Operation Epic Fury, the Trump administration’s name for its war on Iran. Seven died as a result of hostile fire. Six were killed in a plane crash.
