Three American troops were killed and 34 injured in a drone attack on a base in northeast Jordan near the Syria border. The attack was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq, according to US President Joe Biden. The Pentagon has not provided details on the types of injuries sustained, but 34 personnel are being monitored for possible traumatic brain injuries. This is the first time US troops have been killed in the region since the start of the war in Gaza.
