Tragically, six American soldiers lost their lives in an Iranian strike on a military facility in Kuwait this past Sunday, as confirmed by the US.
Initially, US Central Command reported that three soldiers had died, but on Monday, officials updated the death toll to six after one soldier succumbed to their injuries and two more bodies were discovered in the debris.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth stated that a US bunker in Kuwait was struck when a missile launched during Iran's initial retaliation managed to bypass air defenses.
These six fatalities mark the only confirmed deaths by the US military since it began its new conflict with Iran alongside Israel.
