Second attack on US military in Syria following Pentagon’s airstrikes
The US military said it struck Iranian-affiliated targets in eastern Syria in response to an earlier drone attack.
The US military sustained a rocket attack on a compound in Syria on Friday following the airstrikes that Washington launched on Thursday in the war-ravaged country. The US strikes came in response to an "Iranian origin" drone assault that killed one US contractor.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement that 10 rockets targeted coalition forces at the Green Village compound in northeast Syria at around 8:05 a.m. local time (2:05 a.m. ET). There were no injuries to US or coalition personnel. One rocket struck nearly 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the base and resulted in injuries to civilians, according to CENTCOM.
