Iran: over two dozen US soldiers wounded in attacks on a Saudi airbase

Cairo (Egypt), 28 March (LaPresse) – Sources consulted by the Associated Press have reported that more than two dozen US soldiers were injured in Iranian attacks on a Saudi airbase in recent days. Iran launched six ballistic missiles and 29 drones at the Saudi Prince Sultan airbase in an attack on Friday that injured at least 15 soldiers, five of them seriously, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity. US officials had initially reported that at least 10 soldiers had been injured, two of them seriously. The base had already been attacked twice earlier in the week, including an incident that injured 14 US soldiers, according to informed sources. Located about 96 kilometres from the Saudi capital Riyadh, the base is operated by the Royal Saudi Air Force but is also used by US troops.
