12 Americans hurt in Iranian attack in Saudi Arabia as Operation Epic Fury approaches fifth week

Twelve U.S. service members were wounded in an Iranian missile and drone attack on a military base in Saudi Arabia, Fox News has confirmed.

The strike hit Prince Sultan Air Base on Friday, damaging several U.S. refueling aircraft, officials said. Two of the wounded troops were reported to be in serious condition.

At least one KC-135 air refueling aircraft was hit and caught fire during the strike, according to a senior U.S. official.

The attack comes as the monthlong conflict between the U.S., Israel and Iran continues to escalate and follows earlier reports that more than 300 U.S. service members have been wounded since the start of Operation Epic Fury.

The Pentagon is continuing to move additional forces into the region, while officials say military options remain on the table as the situation evolves.
