The incident comes just days after Washington accused Türkiye of “threatening” American troops stationed in Syria
An American military outpost in Syria has come under rocket fire, according to US Central Command, which condemned the yet-to-be-identified attackers for undermining the region’s “hard-earned stability” amid rising violence between Türkiye and local Kurdish militias.
At least two projectiles targeted a US base near the town of al-Shaddadi in northeastern Syria late on Friday night, CENTCOM said in a statement, offering no details about who might have carried out the assault.
“The attack resulted in no injuries or damage to the base or coalition property,” the military said, noting that a “third unfired rocket” was discovered at a location nearby.
CENTCOM spokesman Joe Buccino added: “Attacks of this kind place coalition forces and the civilian populace at risk and undermine the hard-earned stability and security of Syria and the region.”
