2 U.S. Service Members Injured During Counter-ISIS Mission in Iraq

Two U.S. troops were injured Tuesday in a joint raid with Iraqi security forces that killed at least seven senior Islamic State group leaders, according to the Pentagon.

During the early morning operation, which included strikes and follow-on raids on multiple ISIS locations in central Iraq, the two U.S. military personnel were wounded while “assisting Iraqi forces with site exploitation” but are in stable condition, U.S. Central Command said in a statement Wednesday.

Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Pat Ryder earlier on Tuesday mentioned reports of the injured individuals, adding both were “being treated for their injuries.”
