消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,在与伊朗战争初期于科威特发生的一起伊朗无人机袭击事件中,造成6名美军士兵死亡,且此次袭击的严重程度远超此前披露,数十人受伤,其中包括脑损伤、弹片伤和烧伤,至少一人需要截肢。
消息人士描述了3月1日发生在科威特城外舒艾拜港口战术行动中心的袭击事件后的惨状和混乱场景。烟雾迅速弥漫整个建筑,使得营救被困人员变得异常困难。
周二晚上,超过30名军人因科威特袭击中的战斗受伤仍在医院接受治疗——其中1人在圣安东尼奥的布鲁克陆军医疗中心,12人在华盛顿特区郊区的沃尔特·里德医疗中心,约25人在德国拉姆施泰因地区医疗中心,消息人士称。
其中,有3名消息人士表示,周二有20人乘坐C-17军用运输机抵达拉姆施泰因,他们的伤势被军方认定为“紧急”且需要撤离,包括创伤性脑损伤、记忆丧失和脑震荡。
一名消息人士称,超过100名医疗人员被派往拉姆施泰因协助救治。
国防部官员最初未具体说明此次科威特袭击中有多少人受伤,但在3月1日表示,5人受重伤,“另有数人受轻微弹片伤和脑震荡”。
消息人士称,袭击发生后有两名士兵失踪,之后在废墟中被找到。
五角大楼有一个流程来通知受伤士兵的家属,并试图不让他们从新闻稿中了解到伤势的严重程度。
军方将严重伤害定义为“需要医疗救治,且有能力的医疗部门认为在72小时内死亡的可能性存在但不大”。
上周在五角大楼发表讲话时,国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯描述了此次袭击:“你有防空系统,大部分来袭目标都被拦截。但不幸的是,偶尔会有漏网之鱼,我们称之为‘漏网之鱼’,这次正好击中了一个坚固的战术行动中心,但这些武器威力巨大。”
3月1日,沙特阿拉伯发生的另一起单独袭击中至少有一名美国人死亡。目前尚不清楚此次袭击中还有多少人受伤。
周二,即战争第11天,五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔表示,到目前为止约有140名美军士兵受伤,但未具体说明受伤地点或时间。
帕内尔在一份声明中说:“这些伤势中的绝大多数都是轻微的,已有108名士兵已重返岗位。仍有8名士兵被列为重伤,正在接受最高级别医疗护理。”
消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻,军方拥有强大的防空系统,可保护所有在伊朗袭击范围内的美军人员。
周二,五角大楼发言人未立即回应有关美军士兵受伤情况及其受伤地点的置评请求。
Dozens of U.S. service members in Kuwait suffered serious injuries, including burns, brain trauma and shrapnel wounds, sources say

An Iranian drone attack in Kuwait that killed six U.S. service members in the early hours of the war with Iran was more severe than has previously been revealed, with dozens suffering injuries including brain trauma, shrapnel wounds and burns, multiple sources told CBS News. At least one required the amputation of a limb.
Sources described a grim and chaotic scene in the aftermath of the strike on a tactical operations center at the Shuaiba port outside Kuwait City on March 1. Smoke quickly filled the building, making it difficult to rescue those inside.
More than 30 military members remained in hospitals Tuesday night with battle injuries from the Kuwait attack — one at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, 12 at Walter Reed Medical Center in suburban Washington, D.C., and about 25 at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany, sources said.
Of those, about 20 arrived on a C-17 military transport aircraft at Landstuhl on Tuesday with injuries the military designated as “urgent” and requiring evacuation, including traumatic brain injuries, memory loss and concussions, three of the sources said.
More than 100 medical personnel were sent to Landstuhl to assist, one of the sources said.
Defense Department officials initially didn’t specify how many had been hurt in the Kuwait attack, but said on March 1 that five were seriously wounded and “several others sustained minor shrapnel injuries and concussions.”
Two of the service members were missing after the attack and were later found under the rubble, sources said.
The Pentagon has a process to notify wounded soldiers’ family members and seeks to shield them from learning from press releases about how extensive the injuries were.
The military defines a serious injury as one that “requires medical attention, and competent medical authority declares that death is possible but not likely to occur within 72 hours.”
Speaking at the Pentagon last week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, described the strike: “You have air defenses, and a lot’s coming in, and you hit most of it. Every once in a while, you might have one, unfortunately, we call it a squirter, that makes its way through. And in that particular case, it happened to hit a tactical operations center that was fortified, but these are powerful weapons.”
At least one American was killed in a separate strike in Saudi Arabia March 1. It is unclear how many others may have been injured in that attack.
On Tuesday, the 11th day of the war, Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said about 140 American service members had been injured so far, without specifying where or when they were wounded.
“The vast majority of these injuries have been minor, and 108 service members have already returned to duty. Eight service members remain listed as severely injured and are receiving the highest level of medical care,” Parnell said in a statement.
The military has robust air defenses shielding all U.S. personnel in range of Iranian attacks, sources told CBS News.
Pentagon spokespeople did not immediately respond to questions on Tuesday about service members’ injuries or where they were sustained.
