WASHINGTON: The Pentagon on Tuesday identified four of six US troops killed in the Iran war after they were struck in a drone attack in Kuwait.
The Department of Defense said in a statement that the four service members were killed during an “unmanned aircraft system attack” in Kuwait’s Shuaiba port on Sunday.
It identified the four as Captain Cody Khork, 35, Sergeant Declan Coady, 20, Sergeant 1st Class Nicole Amor, 39, and Sergeant 1st Class Noah Tietjens, 42.
All four were “supporting Operation Epic Fury,” which the US has named its strikes against Iran, it added.
Two others who were also killed in action have not been publicly identified.
