BEIRUT (AP) \u2014 An attack with drones hit a compound run by American troops and U.S.-backed Syrian opposition fighters in eastern Syria<\/a> on Monday, the U.S. military said, adding that there were no casualties or damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The military said the attack took place in the vicinity of al-Tanf base near where the borders of Syria, Jordan and Iraq meet. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U.S. and coalition troops are based at al-Tanf to train Syrian forces on patrols to counter militants from the Islamic State group. The base is also located on a road serving as a vital link for Iranian-backed forces, stretching from Tehran all the way to Lebanon.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
