Thirty-four U.S. service members suffered concussions and traumatic brain injuries following the Iranian missile attack on American forces at two Iraqi military bases earlier this month, said Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman on Friday.

“Eight service members who were previously transported to Germany have been transported to the United States” for more treatment, Hoffman said in a press conference. He said they arrived Friday morning, and nine other service members are still being treated in Germany.

Sixteen service members who were diagnosed with concussions and traumatic brain injuries remained in Iraq, and “have already returned to duty,” he said. Meanwhile, one service member was taken to Kuwait for treatment and has returned to duty.

On Jan. 8, Iran fired around two-dozen missiles at two bases in Iraq. A day later, President Donald Trump said there were no deaths or injuries.

According to photos captured by The Associated Press following the attack, several sections of the al-Asad Airbase targeted by Iran appeared to have been totally devastated. The missiles destroyed several buildings that house soldiers.
