PBS broke the news of the service members being injured:

An Iranian missile attack wounded several U.S. service members and damaged several planes at a base in Saudi Arabia on Friday, a U.S. official familiar with the situation said.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive military matters, said the attack on Prince Sultan Air Base involved an Iranian missile and unmanned drones. It damaged several U.S. refueling aircraft. It was not clear how many troops were wounded or how severely.

The confirmation, reported earlier by The Wall Street Journal, comes after satellite imagery that appeared to show the damage to the aircraft appeared online.

Army Sgt. Benjamin N. Pennington, 26, died days after being wounded during a March 1 attack on the base.

U.S. Central Command said earlier in the day that more than 300 service members have been wounded in the conflict.
