Kuwait attack survivors say unit lacked defenses, dispute Pentagon's account

cbsnews.com

Survivors dispute Pentagon's account of a deadly Iranian drone attack in Kuwait, stating their unit was unprepared and exposed. Six U.S. service members were killed and over 20 wounded in the March 1 attack, which survivors say hit a thinly fortified facility, not a secure position as described by officials. The soldiers' accounts contradict Defense Secretary Hegseth's description of the drone as a "squirter" that penetrated defenses, with one survivor stating the unit had "none" drone defense capability.
