MBABANE: Five United States (US) Air Force refueling planes were struck and damaged on the ground at Prince Sultan air base in Saudi Arabia, the Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday, quoting the Wall Street Journal.
“The planes, which were hit during an Iranian missile strike on the Saudi base in recent days, were damaged but not fully destroyed and are being repaired, the WSJ said, adding that no one was killed in the strikes,” reads the Jerusalem Post in part.
But other credible media outlets reported that some US service members were killed after Iran attacked the United States refueling planes, dozens have died since the war in Iran erupted.
