- Al-Tanf, a remote US military outpost in southern Syria, came under attack by “multiple” drones early Monday morning in the latest attack on American forces and the militias they support in the country.
- No one was reported hurt and no property damaged, though one of the drones exploded within a compound used by the local US-backed Syrian militia known as Maghawir al-Thawra (Commandos of the Revolution).
- The context: The al-Tanf garrison, which sits on Syria’s southern border with Iraq and Jordan, was first established as part of the US-led multinational fight against the Islamic State.
