New footage documents the extent of the destruction caused to the American "Boering" base in Kuwait as a result of Iranian strikes

New video clips obtained by CBS News show Iranian attacks on a major American military base in Kuwait, with the outbreak of war with Iran seven months ago.

US forces faced ballistic missiles, drones, and what eyewitnesses described as Iranian F-5 fighter jets.

The report explained that most of the approximately 7,000 American forces had evacuated before the outbreak of war, but more than 100 soldiers remained at the site and were subjected to repeated attacks that eventually forced them to abandon the base and take refuge in remote and isolated locations in the Kuwaiti desert.

The report quoted testimonies from one of the soldiers who witnessed the events, in which he described the base as “completely destroyed,” saying: “They hit us hard...the situation was horrific,” expressing his dissatisfaction with the failure of any reinforcements to come to their aid despite the harsh conditions.

The attacks did not result in the death of any American soldier by direct fire, but several injuries were recorded, including two cases who were struck by an electric shock while they were stationed in the desert after withdrawing from the destroyed base.

Camp Buehring, or CBKU, is located about 25 miles from the Iraqi border, and for more than two decades has served as a major staging base for American forces deployed throughout the Middle East.

The attacks on Camp Buering highlight the pressure Iran placed on American forces during the early days of the war, and CBS News has learned that soldiers defending the base suffered from severe ammunition shortages, with some of them being transferred to the Al-Adiraa desert in Kuwait.

Last month, the Inspector General of the US Department of Defense issued a report on the war with Iran that revealed “losses of equipment” amounting to $3.7 billion, including about 60 aircraft.

A new report issued by the US Congressional Research Service also revealed that US military operations against Iran resulted in the loss or damage of 81 aircraft and helicopters, including drones, since the confrontations began on February 28.
