12 US troops injured in Iranian attack on Saudi base, reports say

At least 12 U.S. troops were injured Friday in an Iranian attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, according to multiple reports, the latest U.S. casualties in the monthlong U.S.-Israeli war against Iran.

At least two of the U.S. service members suffered serious injuries in the attack, which reportedly involved Iranian missiles and drones. At least two U.S. Air Force refueling aircraft were damaged.

U.S. Central Command has not publicly commented on the attack and did not immediately respond to a Stars and Stripes request for comment.

Iran has repeatedly targeted U.S. positions across the Middle East since the start of the conflict with the United States and Israel late last month, launching missiles and drones at bases hosting American forces.

Seven Army Reservists with the 103rd Expeditionary Sustainment Command died in a drone attack March 1 at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait. Two weeks ago, six airmen died when a KC-135 Stratotanker crashed in a non-combat incident in western Iraq on March 12.

More than 300 U.S. service members also have been wounded, with most returning to duty, according to the latest CENTCOM count.

At least 1,900 people have been killed in Iran since the war began, Iran’s Red Crescent said Friday.
