The U.S. Central Command announced on Friday the killing of six members of the crew of a refueling aircraft that crashed in western Iraq, ruling out the possibility that the plane went down due to hostile fire or friendly fire, while the Islamic Resistance in Iraq said it had shot down an American KC-135 aircraft and targeted another with appropriate weapons.

The Pentagon revealed on Saturday evening that the six individuals are John Kleiner (33), Arianna Savino (31), Ashley Proiet (34), Seth Koval (38), Curtis Angust (30), and Tyler Simons (28).

This is at least the fourth American military aircraft to crash since the start of the war, after the downing of three F-15 aircraft in Kuwait.

In a security alert released by the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad on Saturday, the United States ordered its citizens not to come to the embassy in the Iraqi capital or to the Consulate General in Erbil, due to the ongoing danger of rockets, drones and mortars.

Early on Saturday, the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad's Green Zone was attacked, causing damage to its air defense system, according to security sources cited by Al Jazeera.

In addition, the U.S. State Department announced that it ordered non-essential government employees and their families to leave the Sultanate of Oman, citing safety risks amid the ongoing war against Iran.

The region is experiencing a heightened state of military escalation, as the war enters its third week and has killed hundreds, including Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and senior security officials.
