The US military carried out multiple air strikes in Syria on Thursday night against Iran-aligned groups. Those same organizations are accused of being behind a drone strike that killed one American contractor, injured another, as well as five US troops.
A US contractor was killed and five US service members and one other US contractor were wounded when a drone struck a facility on a coalition base in northeast Syria on Thursday, the Pentagon said. In a statement released late Thursday, the Defense Department said the intelligence community had determined the unmanned aerial vehicle was of Iranian origin.
