The Pentagon identifies four of six US service members killed in a drone attack in Kuwait, as Iran warns of more intense regional strikes.

WASHINGTON: The Pentagon has identified four of the six US troops killed in a drone attack in Kuwait over the weekend as the conflict with Iran escalates.

The Department of Defense stated that the four service members died during an unmanned aircraft system attack at Kuwait’s Shuaiba port on Sunday.

Those identified are 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, the US name for its military strikes against Iran.

Two other service members killed in the same incident have not yet been publicly named.

US Central Command confirmed on Monday that a total of six US military personnel had been killed since the start of the Iran war over the weekend.

CENTCOM added in a post on X that US forces had recently recovered the remains of two previously unaccounted-for service members from a facility struck during Iran’s initial regional attacks.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guards warned on Tuesday that they would unleash more intense attacks on the US and Israel as the war spreads across the region.
