Military Families Anxious About Unknowns of Iran War, Proud of Their Service Members
Six U.S. soldiers, including Kentucky-based troops, died after an Iranian missile struck a U.S. tactical operations center in Kuwait, raising the death toll from four to six, CENTCOM said.
- U.S. Central Command announced March 2 that six U.S. service members were killed, including soldiers based in Kentucky who were previously stationed at Fort Knox.
- Following U.S.-Israeli strikes, Iran launched attacks that included an Iranian missile escaping U.S. air defenses and striking a fortified tactical operations center in Kuwait.
- CBS News reported that two of the deaths announced on March 2 occurred in Kuwait, but the identities of the deceased have not been released and no further information is available, Pentagon officials say.
- Local leaders and families reacted that Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear urged prayers for the families of the six killed, while U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned more casualties are likely in the weeks ahead.
- Local communities such as Oak Grove and Clarksville, near the base, are impacted as several soldiers, some stationed at Fort Knox, were deployed in Operation Epic Fury.
