Six US Soldiers Killed in Triple-Wide Trailer' in Kuwait Hegseth Claims It Was Fortified'

"The U.S. military is acknowledging the death toll for U.S. service members has increased steadily to six after the remains of two additional service members who were previously unaccounted for were found. And look, we're also learning that U.S. service members in Kuwait really had no opportunity to take cover before the makeshift operations center that they were in took a direct hit, according to a source, resulting in these U.S. KIAs."

"We have incredible air defenders. Every once in a while, you might have one—unfortunately, we call it a squirter—that makes its way through. And in that particular case, it happened to hit a tactical operations center that was fortified. But these are powerful weapons."

"We're told that this was a suspected Iranian drone strike that was part of that initial wave of retaliatory strikes launched in the early hours of this conflict. We're told the damage inflicted upon it, though, was pretty significant. The source saying that the facility remained on fire for hours after this strike happened."

An Iranian drone strike in Kuwait killed six U.S. service members over the weekend, with the death toll confirmed after remains of two previously unaccounted-for service members were recovered. The strike targeted a makeshift operations center described as a triple-wide trailer that the military characterized as fortified. According to sources, the service members had no opportunity to take cover before the drone delivered a direct hit. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth acknowledged that while U.S. air defenses are strong, occasionally a drone penetrates defenses, describing it as a "squirter." The facility sustained significant damage and remained on fire for hours following the strike.
