At least 10 U.S. service members were injured on Friday when an Iranian missile struck the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. Two of the injured troops were considered seriously wounded, while the other eight were also seriously injured. The attack also damaged multiple U.S. refueling aircraft at the base.
Why it matters
This latest attack on U.S. forces in the region further escalates tensions between the U.S. and Iran, which have been engaged in a shadow war for years. The strike on the Saudi airbase, which hosts American troops, represents a significant military action that could draw the U.S. deeper into the conflict.
The details
According to multiple U.S. and Arab officials, the injured service members were inside a building on the base that was struck by the Iranian missile. In addition to the casualties, the attack also damaged several U.S. refueling aircraft. This is at least the second time the Prince Sultan Air Base has been targeted, with five refueling planes damaged in an earlier strike.
