CENTCOM post, machine translation:
CENTCOM statement regarding the fallen and missing American servicemen

Tampa, Florida — On July 17, while U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) and partner forces were defending against ballistic missile and drone attacks from Iran, two American servicemen were killed in Jordan during operations. Additionally, one serviceman is currently missing.

Four American servicemen were transferred to hospitals in Jordan for medical treatment. They have since been discharged. Other personnel who were examined for minor injuries have returned to duty.

Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will refrain from releasing further information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after notifying the next of kin.
