WASHINGTON — The lethal drone attack Sunday in Jordan was the third in six months on the base known as Tower 22 and highlights a gap in U.S. defenses that the Pentagon is scrambling to fill.
Sunday’s attack by a one-way drone killed three U.S. troops and wounded at least 34 more at the base on Jordan’s border with Syria. The White House has blamed Iranian-backed militias for the attack, which have become increasingly dangerous in recent weeks. There have been more than 150 such attacks targeting bases where U.S. troops are stationed in the Middle East since Israel’s invasion of Gaza.
The attack Sunday was the first to kill U.S. troops, and President Joe Biden has vowed retaliation. At Tower 22, there were two previous attacks by one-way drones, according to a Defense official who was not authorized to comment publicly. The drone Sunday detonated its payload of explosives near living quarters at the logistics base where about 350 U.S. soldiers and airmen are based.
