WASHINGTON—The Iranian ballistic missile attack on a Jordanian air base that killed two U.S. servicemembers struck prefabricated housing units where troops lived and slept, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The attack on Muwaffaq Salti Air Base was one of three separate missile strikes on the base in 24 hours last week, which killed two soldiers from Army air and missile defense units, according to the officials. The remains of a third person have been found at the location and are being examined.
