Last 2 names of 6 US soldiers who died in Kuwait attack identified by the Pentagon

WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — The last two names of the six U.S. soldiers killed in a Kuwait attack have been released by the Pentagon, and they are from California and Iowa.

The soldiers identified Wednesday were 55-year-old Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert Marzan of Sacramento and 45-year-old Maj. Jeffrey O’Brien of Indianola, Iowa.

They died Sunday when a drone hit a command center in Port Shuaiba, Kuwait. The strike came one day after the U.S. and Israel launched its military campaign against Iran.

The Pentagon said Marzan was at the command center and died when the drone strike hit. A medical examiner will confirm identification. Four soldiers were previously identified by the Pentagon on Tuesday.
