United States President Joe Biden confirmed three US service members died and numerous others were injured in an unmanned aerial drone attack near the Jordan-Syria border on Saturday night.
Biden attributed the attack to radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq and noted that the details are still being gathered. The president affirmed his commitment to combat terrorism and vowed to hold those responsible accountable.
This is the first time that American soldiers have been killed by hostile fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the Gaza war.
As of Friday, the US network recorded more than 158 attacks against US and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria, but so far they have not caused serious injuries or damage to infrastructure.
