March 8 (UPI) -- The Pentagon on Sunday afternoon announced that a seventh U.S. service member has died during the U.S. and Israeli conflict with Iran.
The service member was seriously wounded during an attack on U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia on March 1, military officials said.
"Last night, a U.S. service member passed away from injuries received during the Iranian regime's initial attacks across the Middle East," U.S. Central Command said in a post on X.
"Major combat operations continue. The identity of the fallen warrior will be withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification," CENTCOM said.
The seven service members have been killed during the first week of Operation Epic Fury, which the United States and Israel launched on Feb. 28.
