The United States treated 11 of its troops for symptoms of concussion after an Iranian missile attack earlier this month that hit an Iraqi base where U.S. forces were stationed, the U.S. military said on Thursday.
“While no U.S. service members were killed in the Jan. 8 Iranian attacks on Al Asad airbase, several were treated for concussion symptoms from the blast and are still being assessed,” Captain Bill Urban, spokesman for U.S. Central Command, said in a statement cited by Reuters.
