Overview
- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it struck Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia using ballistic missiles and one-way drones.
- Multiple outlets reported that a U.S. E-3 Sentry airborne warning jet was heavily damaged or destroyed, with images on a well-known Air Force community account showing a burned-out fuselage.
- The New York Times and other reports described at least two KC-135 refueling tankers as badly damaged during the same attack.
- About a dozen U.S. service members were injured, including two with serious wounds, according to reporting cited by the Wall Street Journal and CNN.
- U.S. officials have not confirmed the full extent of losses, and a U.S. Air Force colonel quoted by the Wall Street Journal said losing an E-3 would erode America’s ability to track and manage threats in the Gulf from a fleet of roughly 16 jets.
