The U.S. Department of War has confirmed four army reserve soldiers were killed following an attack on a command center at Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, Sunday.
According to the DOW, the four soldiers, all of whom were assigned to the 103rd Sustainment Command out of Des Moines, Iowa, were killed on March 1 during an unmanned aircraft system attack. The soldiers have been identified as:
-35-year-old Captain Cody A. Khork of Winter Haven, Florida
-42-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Noah l. Tietjens of Bellevue, Nebraska
-39-year-old Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake, Minnesota

U.S. Central Command says as of 4 p.m. Monday six U.S. Service Members have been killed in action following Iran’s initial response to Operation Epic Fury, the joint U.S./Israeli military campaign that began Saturday.
Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear said in a social media post: “America, let’s join together and pray for the families of the now six soldiers killed in attacks by Iran — including those based out of my home state, Kentucky. Let’s wrap our arms around them during this difficult time.”
The DOW says the attack in Kuwait is under investigation.
