🔻America confirms the death of another servicemember of this country

🔻The U.S. Army announced on Wednesday that a soldier serving in the country died in an incident “unrelated to combat operations” in Doha, Qatar.

According to the Pentagon, Captain “Bianca C. Wilkerson,” 37, from Norfolk, Virginia, died five days ago on September 18.

It is reported that details related to the incident that led to Captain Wilkerson’s death are under investigation. According to the Pentagon, Mr. Wilkerson, who was posthumously promoted to the rank of major, served at the headquarters of the “United States Army Central Command and the Third Army” at Shaw Air Force Base in South Carolina.

Based on Pentagon figures, this is the nineteenth American servicemember who has died since the United States and Israel’s war against Iran. The figures include cases resulting from death during “combat operations and/or unrelated to these operations.”

The number of wounded U.S. forces has also been reported as more than 800. A few days ago, the Washington Post wrote in a report that the actual figures for American fatalities are at least four people higher than the official figures.
