More than 30 American military members were hospitalized following the attack, 20 of whom with “urgent” injuries.

United States service members suffered brain injuries, shrapnel trauma, and burns following the Iranian drone strike in Kuwait, indicating the attack was more severe than previously revealed, according to a report by CBS News published on Wednesday.

Six soldiers died in the attack on a tactical operations center in the Shuaiba port outside of Kuwait City on March first, one day after the US and Israel joint operation against Iran began.

Sources described a “grim and chaotic scene” in the strike’s aftermath, said CBS, and more than 30 American military members were hospitalized. One was taken to Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio and 12 to Walter Reed Medical Center in Washington DC.

Twenty-five were hospitalized in Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, 20 of whom arrived with injuries designated as “urgent,” including traumatic brain injuries, memory loss, and concussions, according to three sources.

Officials from the US Defense Department didn’t initially specify how many had been hurt from the strike. They reported on the day of the attack that five had been seriously wounded, with several others sustaining “minor shrapnel injuries and concussions,” said the report.
