Central Command said U.S. forces recovered the remains of two service members who had been unaccounted for at a facility struck in Iran's first attacks, bringing the U.S. dead to six; a U.S. official said all six were Army soldiers from the same logistics unit in Kuwait. CENTCOM said 18 service members had been seriously wounded.

Why it matters

The toll doubled in a day, and U.S. military officials questioned the Pentagon's claim that the Kuwait operations center where they died was adequately fortified.
