There were no injuries and damage is being assessed, Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Colonel Wayne Marotto said.
U.S. troops based at an oil field in northeastern Syria came under rocket attack Monday, one day after on facilities used by Iranian-backed militias in the Iraq-Syria border region. There are no injuries and damage is being assessed. “We will provide updates when we have more information,” Operation Inherent Resolve spokesman Colonel Wayne Marotto tweeted Monday afternoon. U.S. forces used artillery to return fire at the positions from which the rockets were launched. It was not immediately clear the specific source of the attacks against U.S. forces in Syria. The rocket attack comes after U.S. airstrikes against facilities used by Iranian-backed militias.. The U.S. “Defensive precision airstrikes” targeted facilities used by militia groups like Kata’ib Hezbollah (KH) and Kata’ib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS), according to the Defense Department.
