- One source told CBS most of the wounded were lightly hurt and had already returned to duty, indicating limited immediate impact on the base’s staffing.
- U.S. Central Command said a total of 373 American service members have been injured in the current campaign, with about 330 back on duty and five listed as seriously wounded.
- Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said it struck several military aircraft at the Kuwait base with missiles and drones under its ongoing Operation True Promise 4.
