Middle East: A US service member has been killed on Saturday in northern Iraq after an Iranian attack, the US military said, a day after an attack on a base in Jordan killed two US soldiers and left another missing. US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the service member was killed during "a controlled detonation of unexploded ordnance" from a downed Iranian attack drone, which also wounded a second service member. CENTCOM also said it had found "unidentified remains" during a search of the site of Friday's attack in Jordan, adding: "An examination process to verify the remains is ongoing." The update comes as the US and Iran exchanged strikes for an eighth consecutive day, with both sides intensifying their attacks. Join EJN:
