SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Three drones targeted a U.S. base in Syria’s Al-Tanf region on Friday but no American troops were injured, the U.S. military said in a statement.
U.S. Central Command said two of the drones were shot down while the remaining drone hit the compound, injuring two members of the Syrian Free Army forces.
It was not immediately clear who was responsible for the drones, but Iranian-backed forces have frequently attacked American troops with drones and rockets in eastern Syria and Iraq.
