A drone attack in Syria injured several Americans

Several Americans and other representatives of the anti-jihadist coalition received minor injuries in a drone attack in Syria, reported Reuters, quoted by BTA, referring to the administration of US President Joe Biden.

The attack took place on Friday in the northeastern Syrian province of Hasakah, which is under the control of US-allied Kurdish forces. The U.S. military initially reported no casualties, but later determined that several people suffered minor injuries, including smoke inhalation, and were evacuated.

This is the second major attack in recent days against US armed forces in the Middle East amid rising tensions in the region, Reuters recalls.

So far, no one has claimed responsibility for the attack. However, groups supported by Iran have carried out similar attacks, notes Reuters.

Five American soldiers were wounded, one of them seriously, in a rocket attack on a military base in western Iraq earlier this week.
