"Multiple" Arizona National Guard members were wounded in a drone strike that killed three U.S. troops and injured dozens of others in northeast Jordan Sunday.
Capt. Erin Hannigan, an Arizona National Guard spokesperson, said three of their troops were medically evacuated but are expected to recover.
Hannigan says the Arizona service members were deployed last September as part of Operation Spartan Shield to provide "law and order and personal security capabilities.”
More than 40 service members were injured in the attack. It’s not clear how many are with the Arizona National Guard.
Officials are withholding the injured servicemembers’ identities per Department of Defense policy.
Gov. Katie Hobbs said on social media Monday that she was “heartbroken” about the attack and her office is ready to offer support for the guardsmen and their families.
