Rockets hit US base in east Syria without causing losses

BEIRUT (AP) — The U.S. military says two rockets have struck a base housing American troops in eastern Syria without causing any human or material losses. The Wednesday morning attack came as Iran and its allies in the region marked the third anniversary of the killing of Iran’s elite Quds force chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani in a U.S. drone strike in Baghdad. No one claimed responsibility for the attack in east Syria, where it is not uncommon for bases housing U.S. troops to come under fire. A Syrian opposition war monitor said the rockets were fired by Arab tribesmen in the region who are armed by Iran.
