According to reports, the strike was executed using both missiles and drones. As a result of the attack, American refueling aircraft and at least one E-3 Sentry airborne early warning and control aircraft were damaged.
U.S. media note that this attack represents one of the most serious breaches in the U.S. air defense system throughout the entire conflict. According to AP, this is not the first attack on this base in the past week.
Additionally, Iranian military officials from the "Khatam al-Anbia" headquarters reported a strike on a warehouse of Ukrainian drone countermeasures in Dubai. According to the Fars agency, Ukrainian citizens may have been present at the warehouse at the time of the strike; however, Georgiy Tikhiy, the official representative of the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry, denied this information, calling it false.
Earlier, Reuters reported that since the beginning of military actions by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, only one-third of Iran's missile arsenal has been destroyed, while some weapons remain damaged or hidden in underground storage facilities.
Military operations by the U.S. and Israel against Iran began on February 28. Amid escalating conflict, Iran continues to strike targets in the Persian Gulf, claiming that its goal is U.S. military bases in the region.
