US troops wounded, several planes damaged in Iranian attack on Saudi air base -- official

An Iranian missile and drone attack on Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia wounded United States troops and damaged several military aircraft, according to a United States official familiar with the matter. The strike targeted refueling planes stationed at the base, though the exact number of wounded personnel and the severity of their injuries remain unclear.

Satellite imagery appearing online showed visible damage to aircraft at the installation. The attack was first reported by a major United States newspaper before being confirmed by the official.

The incident follows ongoing hostilities in which more than 300 United States service members have been wounded, according to United States Central Command. Army Sergeant Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, died days after being injured in a March 1 attack on the same base.
