Drones target U.S. outpost in Syria



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.

The al-Tanf military base in southeastern Syria is situated in the border triangle between Jordan, Iraq, and Syria, the CENTCOM said. It was established by the US-led Global Coalition in the context of its war against the ISIS.
An Nahar adds:
It was not clear who was behind the drone attack, but Iran-backed fighters in the region have carried out such operations in the past. Sleeper cells of the Islamic State group are also active in the area.
