Militants launched a drone attack on a U.S. military base in southeastern Syria overnight, a war monitor reported on Thursday.
Militants launched three military drones to attack the U.S. base in the al-Tanf area, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The UK-based watchdog group said the U.S. forces intercepted two drones while the third inflicted some damage on the base, though no casualties were reported.
The SOHR said the attack appears to be the work of Iran-based fighters who are deployed in eastern Syria and western Iraq, adding the militants carried out the attacks under the banner of “Revenge for Gaza.”
