Army Survivors Challenge Pentagon's Account of Deadly Drone Attack in Kuwait
Survivors of a deadly Iranian drone attack on U.S. forces in Kuwait have publicly disputed the Pentagon's account of the incident. The attack, which occurred on March 1, 2026, resulted in the deaths of six service members and injuries to more than 20 others. According to CBS News, members of the targeted unit have criticized Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's description of the drone as a 'squirter' that penetrated the defenses of a supposedly fortified unit. Survivors argue that their unit was unprepared and not adequately fortified against such aerial attacks. The attack took place at a thinly fortified Kuwaiti port facility, where troops were managing logistics across the Middle East. Despite the chaos and injuries, soldiers demonstrated swift and courageous responses, saving lives amidst the devastation.
