US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says on CNN’s “State of the Union” that “We have reports that several Americans were killed.”
We are working overtime to verify that,” Blinken continues. “There are reports of missing Americans.”
Earlier in the day, the US Embassy refused to provide details about dead or missing citizens.
“We have reports that several Americans were killed. We are working overtime to verify that,” Secretary Blinken says on @CNNSotu. “There are reports of missing Americans.”
