The US has launched an overnight airstrike againstA US contractor was killed and five US service members were injured yesterday when a self-destructing drone struck a maintenance facility on a base yesterday.
US intelligence analysts said the drone was of ‘Iranian origin’, the Pentagon said of the incident that happened near Hasaka at around 1:40pm. With relations between Washington and Tehran increasingly tense, a new wave of reportedly retaliatory wave of airstrikes pelted parts of eastern Syrian today.
