The U.S. military says a U.S. service member is killed in northern Iraq during an incident involving explosives from a downed Iranian drone, according to U.S. Central Command. In a separate development in Jordan, U.S. forces recover unidentified human remains while searching for an American service member reported missing after an Iranian missile and drone attack. Several outlets report that the recovered remains are found in areas associated with where an Iranian strike killed two U.S. service members on a prior day. U.S. officials state the recovered remains are currently unidentified, and an examination is underway to determine whether they belong to the missing service member. The reports also describe a continuation of U.S. recovery efforts in Jordan alongside ongoing U.S. operations in the region. While the incidents occur in different locations, both are presented as part of the U.S. response to the Iranian attacks in Jordan and the subsequent efforts to account for U.S. personnel. Multiple sources emphasize that the remains have not yet been confirmed as belonging to the missing service member.
