The incident, described as a "mishap," occurred without any reported enemy fire at the time. The injured personnel are currently receiving medical treatment, with 10 of them being evacuated to higher care facilities located outside of the US Central Command Area of Responsibility.

An ongoing investigation has been launched to determine the cause of the accident. However, it has been confirmed by the military that no enemy fire was involved in the incident.

Since 2015, US forces operating in Syria have occasionally faced attacks from ISIS fighters and Iranian-backed groups that are active in the region. (ILKHA)
