US military says two American service members killed in Jordan, one missing in action

The United States Central Command said Saturday that two American service members were killed in Jordan this week and one service member is missing in action.

The military said the incident took place Friday while CENTCOM and "partner forces" defended against Iranian ballistic missile and drone attacks. The identities of the fallen and missing service members have not been disclosed.

Four other American service members were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan but have since been discharged. An undisclosed number of other U.S. personnel were evaluated for minor injuries and have returned to duty. 

"Out of respect for the families, CENTCOM will withhold additional information, including the identities of the fallen warriors, until 24 hours after the next of kin have been notified," CENTCOM said.
