US bombs Syrian army position near Tanf
A Syrian army officer was killed in a US strike on a Syrian army outpost near a US base close to the Iraqi-Syrian border, a commander in the regional alliance supporting President Bashar Assad told Reuters.
The Pentagon, said, however, that a US-backed Syrian rebel group stationed in the Tanf garrison had engaged on Thursday evening an "unidentified hostile force" outside a "deconfliction zone" around the garrison, forcing it to retreat. It said there were no casualties on either side.
