A total of 18 servicemen are considered seriously injured, a CENTCOM spokesman said on Monday.

At the same time, the Washington Post, citing an internal State Department document, reported that two members of the US Ministry of War staff were injured in the Iranian attack on a hotel in Bahrain. According to the newspaper, which cites sources, it was a drone attack.

No further details were provided in an internal State Department document dated Sunday. It is not known whether civilian or military personnel were injured.
