US officials says base in Syria unscathed following Iran-backed attack
Projectiles launched in the direction of a US airbase in a gas field in Syria’s Deir al-Zour province did not hit the facility, two US officials say.
A security source earlier told Reuters that an Iran-backed militia targeted the base with six shells, all of which fell in the vicinity of the US base, adding that the US-led coalition responded to the attack with artillery.
The US official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, says the projectiles did not hit the base and there were no injuries. The official cites initial reports that can change.
