Another drone, OIR added, detonated within a compound used by Maghaweir al-Thowra, a U.S.-backed Syrian opposition group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then on Monday evening, at about 9 p.m., multiple rounds of indirect fire landed in the vicinity of Green Village in northeastern Syria, OIR said in a separate statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThankfully on this occasion, there were no casualties and no damage reported,\u201d the OIR statement reads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Several rockets failed to launch and were recovered by coalition troops and their Syrian Democratic Forces partners, according to OIR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cSuch attacks put the lives of innocent Syrian civilians at risk and undermine the significant efforts by our Partner Forces to maintain the lasting defeat of ISIS,\u201d said Maj. Gen. John Brennan, the Combined Joint Task Force-OIR commander, in a statement. \u201cCoalition personnel retain the right to self-defense, and we will take appropriate measures to protect our forces.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OIR did not identify the attackers in the statement, nor did they respond for a request by Military Times to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Attempted rocket attack at Green Village criticized \ud83d\udc47 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FE0s9Sc9Ty\">pic.twitter.com\/FE0s9Sc9Ty<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Operation Inherent Resolve (@CJTFOIR) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CJTFOIR\/status\/1559498096476037120?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 16, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There have been various attacks over the past few years on U.S.-backed forces and coalition troops based in Syria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the more eyebrow raising incidents occurred in early April. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An explosion at Green Village was initially believed by OIR to be the result of indirect-fire.
