Since drone attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria began escalating in mid-October, the Pentagon has reported a total of 56 injuries, a spokeswoman announced Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Three of those injuries, two of them traumatic brain injuries, came from a strike on Wednesday, Sabrina Singh told reporters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBetween Oct. 17 and Nov. 9, U.S. and coalition forces have been attacked at least 46 times to date, 24 separate times in Iraq and 22 separate times in Syria, by a mix of one-way attack drones and rockets,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Pentagon on Monday reported 46 injuries total, 25 of those TBIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most of the overall injuries occurred during attacks Oct. 17 and 18 in Iraq and Syria, the numbers have ticked up as TBI symptoms have surfaced and been reported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Singh could not say how many of the 56 are diagnosed TBI, but said all of the troops have returned to duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The U.S. has launched three retaliatory attacks on Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps-affiliated facilities in response to the strikes, the latest on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n
