At least 34 personnel are being evaluated for possible traumatic brain injury in Saturday night’s drone strike on a US base in Jordan, a US official tells Reuters, after initial reports said 25 were hurt in the attack.

“While we’re still gathering facts, this is most assuredly the work of an Iranian-backed militia group,” a second official says.

Jordan’s government denies that the attack took place on its soil, according to Al Arabiya.
