Iranian attack on US base in Saudi Arabia wounds troops and damages aircraft

An Iranian strike on a US military base in Saudi Arabia wounded at least a dozen American troops and damaged aircraft on Friday, according to media reports.

The Wall Street Journal cited officials as saying at least one missile and several drones struck Prince Sultan Air Base near Riyadh. 

The Associated Press reported 15 injuries, including five serious cases, adding that Iran fired six ballistic missiles and 29 drones.

The attack reportedly damaged multiple refuelling aircraft and an E-3 Sentry Airborne Warning and Control System surveillance plane, according to Air and Space Forces Magazine.

The base has been targeted repeatedly since the US and Israel launched their campaign last month.
