Three United States troops have been killed and 25 injured in a drone attack on a US base in Jordan.

US Central Command says the casualties were caused by a drone attack at a base near the Syria border.

US President, Joe Biden say the attack was carried out by radical Iran-backed militant groups.

Biden says this is the first time US soldiers have been killed in a strike region after Hamas' 7th October attack on Israel.
