CBS said that the first U.S. casualties in this conflict died at a temporary tactical operations center in Kuwait's Al-Shuwaib port, which was attacked by an Iranian drone. The U.S. Central Command has confirmed at least six U.S. deaths. The Pentagon disclosed the identities of four of them on Tuesday, while the names of the other two were withheld pending notification of their families. At a Pentagon press briefing, Hedges said the attack used "powerful weapons" that penetrated the air defense system and hit a "reinforced" operations center; however, some military officials have questioned the claim of "sufficient reinforcement." They stated that the operations center was actually an office built from a triple-trailer unit, which is common at overseas bases. Its main protection was a "T-shaped wall" (a reinforced concrete barrier, about 6 to 12 feet high), designed to block blast waves, rockets, and shrapnel, but whether it was sufficient to withstand this strike remains questionable.
