6 US soldiers killed, over 30 injured in Iranian drone attack on base in Kuwait

Washington Post: An Iranian drone attack on a U.S. military base in Kuwait has resulted in casualties among American troops. Surviving soldiers and witnesses accuse military leadership of ignoring repeated warnings about the base's vulnerability and failing to provide adequate drone defenses. Six U.S. soldiers were killed and more than 30 were wounded. Soldiers claim commanders sent troops to a high-risk location without sufficient protection and made critical errors during the evacuation of the wounded, abandoning the site after the attack. The report is based on interviews with 17 people, including survivors and those familiar with the military investigation, most speaking anonymously due to fear of reprisals or to discuss investigation details.
