An Iranian missile attack Friday left at least 10 U.S.

service members wounded and damaged several planes at a military base in Saudi Arabia.

This according to two U.S.

officials familiar with the situation.

The attack on Prince Sultan Air Base damaged several U.S.

refueling aircraft.

One of the officials said two of the troops were seriously wounded.

Satellite imagery that appeared to show the damage to the aircraft was posted online.

President Trump has signed a memo directing Transportation Security Administration personnel to be paid a bid to alleviate disruptions at U.S.

airports amid the ongoing shutdown of its parent agency.

Trump's Friday memo stated that 50,000 transportation officers who work security at airports are not being paid due to the funding lapse at the DHS, prompting almost 500 to leave their positions, with thousands more calling in sick.

A DHS spokesperson said that TSA has immediately begun the process of paying the workforce and that officers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday.

House Speaker Mike Johnson talked about the president's move.

Still, it's unclear how the system will work.

The memo does not cite the specific source of funding.

The president may also lack the legal authority to unilaterally authorize pay.

Federal law gives Congress the power of the purse.
