U.S. forces in eastern Syria were targeted in a rocket attack Friday morning, in tit-for-tat strikes between the U.S. and militia groups supported by Iran, the Pentagon said.
In the attack, "10 rockets targeted coalition forces at the Green Village in northeast Syria," U.S. Central Command said in a news release issued Friday.
The strike did not cause damages or injuries to U.S. forces or their partners, the command said. But it added that one rocket landed nearly five kilometers off-target, "striking a civilian house, causing significant damage and causing minor injuries to two women and two children."
