U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) said Sunday that a U.S. service member died from injuries sustained during Iran’s initial wave of attacks across the Middle East, marking the seventh American killed in action during Operation Epic Fury.
“Last night, a U.S. service member passed away from injuries received during the Iranian regime’s initial attacks across the Middle East,” CENTCOM said on X. “The service member was seriously wounded at the scene of an attack on U.S. troops in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia on March 1.”
“This is the seventh service member killed in action during Operation Epic Fury,” CENTCOM added. “Major combat operations continue. The identity of the fallen warrior will be withheld until 24 hours after next of kin notification.”
