The country's health ministry said that, as of 07:00 (05:00 GMT) today, 1,929 people have been injured and evacuated to hospitals since 28 February, though not all are receiving treatment due to missile strikes.

US: Six US soldiers were killed in an Iranian drone strike on an American base in Kuwait last Sunday, the Pentagon said.
