Five Kurdish fighters said killed in drone attack on US base in Syria
Five fighters from the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces were killed in an attack on an American base in eastern Syria, a war monitor says.
“Five members from SDF special forces were killed and around 20 wounded by a drone attack after midnight on Al-Omar oil field,” the largest US-led coalition base in Syria, says Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
