A U.S. soldier was killed and another injured while handling unexploded munitions from an Iranian drone in Iraq. In Jordan, where two U.S. soldiers were killed and one is missing due to a prior Iranian attack, additional unidentified remains have been discovered.
U.S. Central Command reported that on July 19, a soldier died during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from an Iranian one-way attack drone that had been shot down in northern Iraq. The injured soldier is receiving treatment for non-life-threatening injuries.
Central Command also stated that on July 17, unidentified remains were found at the site of the Iranian attack in Jordan, and they are currently undergoing forensic examination. The earlier attack resulted in the deaths of two U.S. soldiers and left one missing. It has not yet been officially confirmed whether the discovered remains belong to the missing soldier.
Central Command did not disclose the specific location of the attack in Jordan. However, Axios reported that at least two Iranian ballistic missiles struck the Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, located approximately 100 kilometers northeast of the capital, Amman.
