American contractor killed in drone attack on U.S. base in northeast Syria

"This evening, we responded to an attack on our forces that killed an American contractor and wounded our troops and another American contractor by striking facilities used by groups affiliated with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps,” US Central Command said in a statement.

The Department of Defense said that two of the wounded service members were treated on site, while three additional service members and the U.S. contractor were medically evacuated to Coalition medical facilities in Iraq. (ILKHA)
