On March 1, 2026, a drone strike at Port Shuaiba in Kuwait killed six U.S. soldiers and injured dozens, marking the deadliest attack on American troops since Operation Epic Fury began. Surviving soldiers and Gold Star families are now speaking out, alleging that commanders ignored prior warnings regarding the facility’s vulnerability and improperly ordered troops out of nearby bunkers. Veterans like Lt. Col. Tim Halbur, who suffered severe arm injuries, also report that wounded personnel did not receive prompt medical care. While the Army completed its investigation in June, it has delayed releasing the public report pending briefings with grieving families, and both the Army and Pentagon have declined to comment on the specific allegations.
