California Soldier Believed Among Six Killed in Iran-Linked Kuwait Drone Strike
A Sacramento-based Chief Warrant Officer 3 Robert M. Marzan, 54, is believed to be among six U.S. Army Reserve personnel killed in a drone strike on Port Shuaiba, Kuwait, amid escalating U.S.-Iran hostilities. Marzan, part of the 103rd Sustainment Command, was in Kuwait supporting Operation Epic Fury. The Pentagon confirmed his death at the scene and said no further information would be released until positive identification by the medical examiner. California leaders offered condolences, and flags at the state Capitol will be flown at half-staff. Among the other identified casualties are Maj. Jeffrey R. O’Brien and four Kuwait-based service members; the Pentagon notes the six U.S. casualties are the only ones reported thus far in the conflict, with President Trump warning more deaths may occur.
