五角大楼周五晚间将与伊朗军事行动相关的美军官方死亡人数上调至21人,承认此前有两起死亡未被计入其统计数据。

The Pentagon late Friday raised the official death toll of US troops linked to military operations against Iran to 21, acknowledging that two additional deaths had not previously been included in its figures.

截至周五,根据《华盛顿邮报》的报道,国防伤亡分析系统列出的与该行动相关的军人死亡人数为21人。

As of Friday, the Defense Casualty Analysis System listed 21 military deaths connected to the operations, according to The Washington Post.

新增计入的死亡包括陆军国民警卫队成员索尔夫利·达维乌斯少校(Maj. Sorffly Davius,46岁),他于3月6日在科威特死亡,以及一名未具名的海军服役人员,其于9月自杀身亡,该报道由该报披露。更新后的数据还显示,在此次行动中有865名美军人员受伤。

The newly included deaths involved Maj. Sorffly Davius, 46, an Army National Guard member who died in Kuwait on March 6, and an unidentified Navy service member who died by suicide in September, the newspaper reported. The updated figures also showed that 865 US service members had been wounded during the operations.

另据军方确认,一名士兵在一次训练事故中死亡,官员称该事故与伊朗冲突无关。

Separately, the military confirmed the death of another soldier in a training accident that officials said was unrelated to the conflict with Iran.

德文·A·塞贝尔下士(Sgt. Devin A. Seibel,26岁)于5月在伊拉克死亡,其死亡被记录在“固有决心”行动(Operation Inherent Resolve)下 — — 这是军方长期开展的针对伊斯兰国(Daesh)恐怖组织的行动。

Sgt. Devin A. Seibel, 26, died in Iraq in May. His death was recorded under Operation Inherent Resolve, the military's long-running campaign against the ISIS (Daesh) terrorist group.

众议院武装服务委员会两位资深民主党成员欢迎五角大楼此次对伤亡数据的“公开更正”。

Two senior Democrats on the House Armed Services Committee welcomed what they described as the Pentagon's "public correction" of the casualty figures Friday.

华盛顿州代表亚当·斯密(Rep. Adam Smith),该委员会首席民主党人,以及宾夕法尼亚州代表克里斯蒂·霍兰(Rep. Chrissy Houlahan),其军事人员小组委员会首席民主党人,在一份联合声明中表示:“如此规模的错误没有任何借口。”

"There is no excuse for a mistake of this magnitude," Rep. Adam Smith of Washington, the committee's top Democrat, and Rep. Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania, the top Democrat on its military personnel subcommittee, said in a joint statement.

他们还认为,需要国会干预来更正这些数据对军方而言是“一场尴尬”。

They also described the need for congressional intervention to correct the figures as "an embarrassment" for the military.

在向《华盛顿邮报》发表的声明中,五角大楼并未直接回应修订后的死亡人数。

In a statement to The Washington Post, the Pentagon did not directly address the revised death toll.

相反,它阐述了其伤亡报告系统的变化,包括引入一个“待裁决”类别,用于仍在审查中的记录。

Instead, it outlined changes to its casualty reporting system, including the introduction of a "pending adjudication" category for records still under review.

五角大楼重申了其对准确报告的承诺,称其“继续坚持对所有军伤亡人员进行透明、准确的记录的坚定承诺”。

The Pentagon reiterated its commitment to accurate reporting, saying it "continues to maintain a steadfast commitment to the transparent, accurate accounting of all Service member casualties."
