3 American troops killed, 25 injured in attack on Jordan base near Syria border | 28 Jan 2024 | Three U.S. service members were killed and 25 others were injured in a drone attack on an outpost in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border, U.S. Central Command confirmed on Sunday. "On Jan. 28, three U.S. service members were killed and 25 injured from a one-way attack UAS that impacted at a base in northeast Jordan, near the Syria border," CENTCOM said in a statement. U.S. troops long have used Jordan as a basing point, and the attack took place in northeast Jordan near the Syrian border. The Defense Department has not confirmed the exact location of the attack, but The Wall Street Journal cited a U.S. official in reporting it happened at Tower 22, a small outpost in northeast Jordan located close to Al Tanf Garrison in southeastern Syria, where U.S. forces have collaborated with local partners combating Islamic State militants.
