Number of Injured Soldiers in Attack on US Base Near Jordan, Al Tanf, Rises to 34

The number of US soldiers injured in a drone attack on a US base near Jordan near the border with Syria has risen to 34, with eight people being evacuated, the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Monday.

"As an update to the earlier announcement, the number of US personnel with injuries has increased to at least 34 service members, but we expect this number to fluctuate as service members continue to seek follow-on care. Eight personnel that received injuries required evacuation from Jordan to higher level care, but they are in stable condition," the command said in a statement.
