Three US troops were killed and 25 injured in a drone attack on a US base in Jordan, the US announced.
The deaths in the base, near the Syrian border, were the first of US service personnel in the region since the Hamas-Israel war broke out on October 7. However, there were variant reports of where the attack exactly took place – in Jordan or Syria.
US President Joe Biden says that while facts are still being gathered, the attack was carried out by Iran-backed military groups operating in Syria and Iraq.
