WASHINGTON, 26 February, 2021 (TON): Pentagon says, the U.S. military has carried out an airstrike targeting militias in Syria.
Multiple hostages and facilities located at the border control point of the militant groups were destroyed during the attack.
President Joe Biden approved the action in response to recent attacks against US and coalition personnel in Iraq.
When the rockets hit sites in Irbil, including a base used by the US-led coalition, a US service member and five other contractors were injured.
Rockets have also struck US bases in Baghdad, including the Green Zone which houses the US embassy and other diplomatic missions.
However, the operation sends an ambiguous message as per Pentagon, although it called the action a proportionate military response that was taken together with diplomatic measures, including consulting coalition partners.
