CENTCOM announced three U.S. service members have been killed in action and five are seriously wounded as part of Operation Epic Fury, the name for the ongoing U.S. military operation against Iran.
Several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions and are being returned to duty, CENTCOM said in a statement.
"Major combat operations continue and our response effort is ongoing," CENTCOM said. "The situation is fluid, so out of respect for the families, we will withhold additional information, including the identities of our fallen warriors, until 24 hours after next of kin have been notified."
These are the first confirmed U.S. combat deaths of the operation.
