Update(2210ET): American troops occupying northeast Syria have come under overnight attack by a drone, which some reports say was sent by 'pro-Iran' militants.
US officials did not indicate that there were any initial casualties, in what is the second such attack on a US base in less than a week. "Initial reports do not indicate any injuries, however medical evaluations are ongoing. We are currently conducting a damage assessment," a defense official told Reuters.
The U.S. Military Base at Kharab al-Jir Airport in Northeastern Syria has reportedly been Struck by several Iranian-Backed Drones within the last hour, with Fire and Smoke seen coming from the Base.
But it's not just Iran-linked militants who have upped the pressure on the US occupation of late - Arab tribes have been attacking US-backed Kurdish positions in the oil and gas rich eastern region as well.
The whole region is still on edge awaiting a likely Iranian attack on Israel, which would likely see stepped-up activity from Hezbollah and from militias in Syria and possibly even Iraq.
