Three US soldiers were killed and 25 were injured in a drone strike on a US military base in northeast Jordan, close to the Syrian border overnight.
US President Joe Biden says that the attack was carried out by “radical Iran-backed militant groups operating in Syria and Iraq,” the Reuters news agency reports.
The incident marks the first time that US troops have been killed in the Middle East since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza.
