Two US Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter were killed in a Daesh attack on Saturday in Palmyra, Syria, where they were supporting counterterrorism operations, the Pentagon said.
Three others were wounded, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said.
“The soldiers’ names, as well as identifying information about their units, are being withheld until 24 hours after the next of kin notification,” he wrote in a post on X.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth said the attacker was killed by partner forces.
This is a developing story and is being updated with further details.
