A commando, identified as Malek Mousavi-Tabar, was killed Wednesday morning during operations to counter the movements of an invading drone in Bahmai County in the western Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province.
Four people were killed and 68 others wounded in a U.S. attack targeting a wedding ceremony in Sirik County in southern Hormozgan province. The victims included one four-year-old child, a teenager and two women.

In statements published on its official news outlet Sepah News, the IRGC said its forces shot down a “hostile” U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone and launched ballistic missiles toward Camp Titin in Jordan, reportedly killing “a large number of” U.S. troops and destroying several key facilities and combat helicopters.
The IRGC said its aerospace forces struck with ballistic missiles the hangars of U.S. RQ-4 Global Hawk and MQ-9 Reaper drones at the Prince Hassan Air Base in Jordan, destroying a number of the aircraft and setting the technical infrastructure facilities on fire.
It noted that its ground forces targeted with drones and missiles the headquarters and accommodation of the U.S. commander at the Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait, setting on fire a hangar of U.S. drones and a drone deployment ramp and destroying several unmanned aerial vehicles.
Its ground forces also launched a hybrid missile-drone strike on U.S. bases in Erbil, capital of Iraq’s Kurdistan region, destroying a maintenance center, technical-equipment warehouses, and a system for guiding espionage balloons, all belonging to the U.S. Army, the IRGC added.
In statements published on its website, Iran’s Army said its drone attacks targeted U.S. bases in Bahrain and the UAE. It said it struck with kamikaze drones U.S. troops and radar facilities at the Shaikh Isa Air Base in Bahrain as well as the Al Minhad and Al Dhafra Air Bases in the UAE.
Iran’s main military command, Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters, warned that continued U.S. malicious acts in the region would draw “heavier, more extensive and more devastating” responses.
