The Pentagon has identified four U.S. Army Reserve soldiers who were killed during a drone attack in the Middle East as tensions continue to escalate in the region. The soldiers were part of a logistics unit supporting U.S. military operations connected to the conflict involving Iran and Israel.
According to officials, the attack took place at a military operations center near Port Shuaiba in Kuwait, where a drone strike hit the facility and caused multiple casualties. The incident marked one of the deadliest attacks on U.S. forces since the latest regional conflict began.
The four soldiers identified by the Pentagon were Capt. Cody A. Khork (35), Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens (42), Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor (39), and Sgt. Declan J. Coady (20). All were members of the 103rd Sustainment Command, a U.S. Army Reserve unit based in Iowa.
Officials said the reservists played key roles in supplying troops with food, equipment, and logistics support. Their work helped sustain military operations across the region.
The attack also left several other service members injured, and two additional fatalities from the strike had not yet been publicly identified while families were being notified.
Military leaders and government officials expressed condolences to the families of the fallen soldiers, praising their dedication and sacrifice in service to the country.
The Pentagon said the attack is still under investigation as tensions remain high across the Middle East, with ongoing military operations and retaliatory strikes between regional powers.
