US Base in Homs, Syria targeted by drone attack

A U.S. base in western Syria’s Homs province came under a drone attack, according to local sources Sunday.

The suicide drone was shot down by U.S. soldiers at the base in the al-Tanf area near the border with Jordan late Saturday, the sources said.

No injuries were reported.

The U.S. base came under a similar drone attack last April 7.

Groups backed by Iran occasionally target American bases on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River using missiles and suicide drones.
