THREE American troops have died following a drone attack in Jordan.
It is the first time US troops have been killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the Gaza war.
AFPThe three American troops were killed at a small US outpost in northeast Jordan near the border with Syria.
US Central Command confirmed in a statement on Sunday that three service members had been killed and 25 injured in a single, one-way drone attack.
There had been more than 158 attacks on US and coalition forces in Iraq and Syria as at Friday, but officials said rarely caused serious injury or damage to infrastructure.
At this early stage, it is unclear why air defences failed to intercept the drone attack on Tower 22.
