Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky claims Russia captured satellite images of a key US airbase in Saudi Arabia before an Iranian strike that wounded American troops.

Zelensky said Russian satellites photographed the Prince Sultan Air Base on March 20, 23, and 25, just days before the attack on March 26.

At least 15 troops were injured, including five seriously, in the Iranian attack, which fired six ballistic missiles and 29 drones at the base.

Zelensky believes Russia's repeated satellite imaging signals imminent military action, based on Ukraine's past experience.

The US military has reported over 300 American service members wounded in the war against Iran, with 13 killed.
