Deadly drone attack hits training ground at Syrian base housing US troops (6 Kurds dead)

A drone attack late Sunday evening that struck a military base in eastern Syria, where U.S. troops are stationed, left at least six allied Kurdish soldiers dead, officials said.

The attack hit a training ground at al-Omar base in Syria’s eastern province of Deir el-Zour, the U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said in a statement Monday. According to the statement, the drone attack struck an area where the forces' commando units were being trained.

No U.S. troops were killed or injured in the attack, they said.

The strike was the first significant attack in Syria or Iraq since the U.S. launched strikes over the weekend against Iran-backed militias. Militia fighters have been carrying out assaults on U.S. forces and civilian targets in the region since the breakout of the Israel-Hamas war in October.

Thanks for pointing that out; there shouldn’t be any attacks going on. But rebels gonna rebell, especially when their sponsor is flush with cash and ready to make trouble with it.

Until Biden’s handlers decide we need to do something more impactful than kicking up sand, these attacks will continue.

Interesting. I thought the Kurds were the “rebels” in Syria.

If we are not wanted in Syria by the Syrian government, then aren’t we invaders?

Those Kurds are terrorists according to the Turkish ruler Erdogan so Iran helps Türkiye.

How are those two Iranian intelligence ships off the coast of Yemen directing Houthi missiles still floating?

We are there to overthrow Assad, and failed at that, break off a chunk of Syria. Trump ordered this to stop but the pentagram flipped him the finger.

How dare you call liberators, “invaders”! /s

The fact that a sovereign nation doesn’t want us there is irrelevant. When we get the new puppet-government set up, then everything will be just fine.

Just look at how smoothly we’ve assimilated Iraq. /s

Almost like we created a power vacuum which was filled by Iran.

At least no one is pushing for war with Iran…

You cannot win this tit for tat. It’ll be like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Ukraine, Vietnam, Korea...on and on.

And if still floating why are they still able to communicate? I would like to think we have the technology to make that ‘challenging’ for them.
