AZAZ, Syria (AA) – Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) of unknown origin attacked the Harab Cir Airbase, where US forces are deployed, in Hasakah, northeastern Syria, according to local sources.

No casualties have been reported, and the US has not yet officially commented on the attack.

In recent days, unidentified armed unmanned aerial vehicles and ground-to-ground weapons have been used to launch attacks on the US military bases in the At-Tnaf region, al-Malikiyah district near the Iraq border, Al-Shaddadah district in al-Hasakah province, and the Deir ez-Zor province in Syria.

Iran-backed groups occasionally attack US bases east of the Euphrates with rockets and drones.
