The weekend drone attack that killed three US service members in Jordan occurred when American air defenses confused the enemy aircraft with a friendly one coming in at the same time, a report said Monday.
The drone launched by Iran-backed militants approached a small US-allied outpost near Jordan’s border with Syria on Saturday just as an American drone was returning to the base — causing confusion among staff there and a crucial delay in trying to shoot down the enemy device, unidentified military officials told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
The terrorists’ drone struck soldiers’ living quarters, killing three American troops and leaving at least 34 others injured.
“I think what was different about this attack is where it landed — it did impact in where our living quarters are,” Pentagon spokeswoman Sabrina Singh told reporters at a briefing Monday. “I believe it was pretty early morning, so people were actually in their beds when the drone impacted.
“[US] Central Command is looking into what can be done when it comes to our air defenses and looking into this incident to determine how best we can move or how fast we can further strengthen our air defense systems,” Singh said.
