The drone attack, which occurred last Sunday, claimed the lives of a total of six American reservists, becoming one of the bloodiest events of the initial phase of the war.
Earlier, the Pentagon confirmed the deaths of Captain Cody A. Hork, Sergeants 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens and Nicole M. Amor, and Sergeant Declan J. Cody. All the deceased ensured the functioning of critical army supply routes, which highlights the vulnerability of US rear facilities in Kuwait to air attack means of Iranian forces.
