(CNN) -- The US Central Command announced Saturday the deaths of two US service members and the loss of a third while on duty, marking the first time human losses have been recorded among the US military from Iranian fire since March.

According to Central Command, four other personnel were medically evacuated to hospitals in Jordan but later discharged, while other individuals sustained minor injuries and returned to duty.

Here's what we know so far:

Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed responsibility in a statement on Saturday for attacks targeting a base used by US forces in the Azraq area of Jordan, asserting that it had "completely" destroyed a number of aircraft during the assault, which it said was carried out using missiles and drones.

The US Central Command stated it will not release the identities of the fallen soldiers until 24 hours after their families have been notified.

This brings the number of US service members killed during the nearly five-month-long conflict to 16, according to the US Department of Defense's casualty analysis system.

In comments to NewsNation on Saturday, US President Donald Trump commented on the soldiers' deaths, saying: "We hate to see that happen. It's something done in service to our country."

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth also acknowledged the news in a post on X (formerly Twitter), writing: "Rest in peace, heroes. Your sacrifices only strengthen our resolve."
