The Pentagon identified two more soldiers killed in a drone attack on a U.S. military facility in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, marking the first casualties in the current conflict with Iran.
Major Jeffrey O’Brien, 45, from Iowa, and Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54, from Sacramento, California, were among the deceased, the Pentagon stated. Marzan’s death is pending confirmation by medical examiners.
The incident, which occurred Sunday, also resulted in the deaths of four other Army Reserve soldiers, all from the 103rd Sustainment Command based in Des Moines, Iowa, responsible for global logistics and supply operations.
Previously identified casualties included Sergeant Declan J. Coady, 20, of West Des Moines, Iowa. The conflict has intensified, with U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth asserting the military can sustain its efforts as necessary.
