Iranian Drone and Missile Strike Wounds US Troops, Damages Aircraft at Saudi Base

A US official says an Iranian missile and unmanned drones struck Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, wounding several US service members and damaging multiple refueling aircraft. The source spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of ongoing military operations. It remains unclear how many troops were injured or the full extent of the damage to the aircraft. Satellite images shared online appear to confirm the destruction of US refueling planes on the tarmac. Army Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, succumbed to injuries sustained during a separate March 1 strike on the same base. US Central Command reports that over 300 service members have been wounded in the broader conflict.
