CENTCOM says remains found in Jordan, reports U.S. service member killed in Iraq

TAMPA, Florida (KVIA) -- The U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) announced Sunday that unidentified remains were found in Jordan at the site hit by an Iranian attack Saturday as well as a death and an injury of U.S. service members in a separate incident in Iraq.

Officials say they found the remains after a "thorough search" U.S. military personnel found unidentified remains at the location early Sunday. CENTCOM say an examination process to verify the remains is ongoing.

In another incident, a U.S. service member in northern Iraq was killed in action Saturday, July 18, during a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance from a downed Iranian one-way attack drone.

A second service member was wounded from this incident and military officials say the service member continues to receive medical treatment for a minor injury.

CENTCOM is withholding additional information, including the identities of the missing and fallen service members, as they notify the next of kin.
