ERBIL (Kurdistan 24) – US Central Command (CENTCOM) on Friday announced that three drones attacked the Al-Tanf garrison in Syria.

Coalition Forces shot down two drones, but one struck the compound, according to the statement.

Two fighters of the Syrian Free Army were injured in the attack, the statement added, but no US forces were injured in the attack.

CENTCOM spokesperson Joe Buccino stated that ““attacks of this kind are unacceptable – they place our troops and our partners at risk and jeopardize the fight against ISIS.”

Established in March 2016, the Al-Tanf is a US military base in the Homs Governorate, in central Syria.
