An American contractor was killed in a drone attack in Syria, while 6 people, including soldiers, were injured.

According to the Pentagon, an American contractor was killed and another contractor and 5 American soldiers were injured in a drone attack on a US installation at a coalition military base in northeastern Syria.

US intelligence analysts have claimed that the drone was Iranian.

According to the Pentagon, the attack took place yesterday at 1:38 p.m. near the city of Hasakah.

2 soldiers injured in the attack were treated at the scene of the attack, while 3 other wounded soldiers and a US contractor were flown to Iraq for medical treatment.

On the other hand, US forces have retaliated by airstrikes on Iran-linked targets in the same region on the orders of President Joe Biden.
