A Syrian military source told AFP that an overnight drone attack originating from Iraq targeted an area in the country’s northeast home to a base hosting US forces.

“The area housing the Qasrak base was targeted with four drones,” the source said, requesting anonymity and referring to a location in Hasakeh province.

The source said the coalition intercepted three of the drones, while the fourth “fell in an open area in the vicinity of the base”, adding that they were launched from Iraq.
