(DDM) – At least 12 United States troops have been wounded following an Iranian missile and drone strike on a military base in Saudi Arabia, according to U.S. media reports.
The attack reportedly targeted a key installation hosting U.S. forces in the region.
Officials said two of the injured soldiers sustained serious wounds, while others suffered varying degrees of injuries.
The strike is part of ongoing hostilities involving Iran, the United States, and Israel following the escalation of conflict that began in late February.
Reports indicate that the attack involved a combination of ballistic missiles and drones, which struck a facility housing U.S. personnel.
In addition to troop injuries, the strike also damaged military equipment stationed at the base.
The incident highlights Iran’s continued capability to launch retaliatory strikes despite sustained military pressure.
It also underscores growing concerns about the vulnerability of U.S. assets and personnel across the Middle East.
Since the start of the conflict, hundreds of U.S. service members have reportedly been injured, although many have returned to duty after treatment.
The latest attack marks another escalation in tensions, as Iran continues to target locations it accuses of supporting U.S. military operations.
Regional analysts warn that repeated strikes on Gulf-based installations could draw more countries deeper into the conflict.
Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states have increasingly found themselves caught in the crossfire of the broader geopolitical confrontation.
The United States has not yet announced immediate retaliatory measures following the latest strike.
However, military officials are said to be reviewing defensive capabilities and troop deployments in the region.
The attack comes amid ongoing diplomatic efforts to reach a ceasefire, though progress remains uncertain.
Observers say the continued exchange of strikes could complicate negotiations and prolong instability in the region.
The situation remains fluid, with further developments expected as military and diplomatic responses unfold.
