The US Central Command says a total of six American soldiers have been killed amid the ongoing conflict with Iran, after the bodies of two more servicemembers were located.
“US forces recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted for service members from a facility that was struck during Iran’s initial attacks in the region,” CENTCOM says in a statement.
CENTCOM does not provide further details on the circumstances that led to their deaths.
“Major combat operations continue. The identities of the fallen are being withheld until 24 hours after next-of-kin notification,” CENTCOM adds.
