6 US troops were killed in drone strike at Kuwait command center: Defense officials
All six American service members were killed in the opening hours of the war against Iran by an Iranian drone at Shuaiba port in Kuwait, according to two defense officials.
The troops in Kuwait were killed in a command and control center, a building which is effectively a large trailer, according to the officials.
The center was encircled by 6-foot-tall concrete walls -- a staple in defending against rockets and mortars from the Iraq and Afghanistan war-era, but they do not protect against aerial attacks, according to the officials.
These centers are often ad hoc or semi-permanent locations for units to coordinate logistics and their forces.
