Two US service members were killed and another remains missing after missile and drone attacks in Jordan on Friday, according to US military officials. The incident marks a serious loss for US forces in the region and has raised fresh concern over the security situation.
US Central Command said four additional service members were medically evacuated for treatment after the attack. Officials have not released further details in the trimmed report about the condition of those injured or the circumstances surrounding the missing service member.
The attack was described as involving Iranian ballistic missiles and drones. With casualties, injuries and one person still unaccounted for, the episode underscores the growing danger facing troops deployed in and around key Middle East locations.
Military officials are expected to continue providing updates as efforts focus on accountability for all personnel and on assessing the full impact of the strike in Jordan.
