Iran Press/West Asia: The exact number of projectiles fired towards the facility is unknown. Eyewitnesses reported hearing several explosions in the vicinity, but other details are unavailable now.
This attack follows a similar incident in the early hours of August 14, when projectiles were fired at the same base but did not impact it directly. No injuries among U.S. servicemen were reported in that previous attack.
U.S. Forces in Syria
The United States has maintained a military presence in Syria since 2014, fighting as the White House claims with the Islamic State (ISIS) group. Currently, the U.S. has close to 1,000 troops stationed in eastern Syria, primarily in the northeast.
However, the U.S. presence in Syria has also faced challenges and risks: It risks prolonging America's involvement in a protracted conflict with no clear end in sight.
It has antagonized NATO ally Turkey, which views the Kurdish groups as a cross-border threat
U.S. troops have faced attacks from the resistance front, such as the recent drone attack that injured eight U.S. personnel.
