American soldiers hit by rocket attack, killing at least 5 people

Turkish-backed militants attacked a US military patrol.

This afternoon it became known that at least 27 people, including at least five US military personnel, were killed as a result of a missile attack on a US military patrol. Initially, there was evidence that the cause of the missile attack could have been erroneous strikes by the US Air Force or Turkey, however, later this information was refuted, while there are allegations that we are talking about a terrorist act, and not a rocket launch.

According to the latest reports, the American patrol was attacked by militants supported by the Turkish side, but so far no radical group has claimed responsibility.

It should be clarified that the information on the victims varies greatly, in particular, the American media reports the death of one soldier, the Turkish media have data on the death of five American soldiers, and the Kurds report that four soldiers died and three more were seriously injured.

Experts do not exclude that the attack on the US military could have been a provocation by Turkey, which may serve as a pretext for launching an offensive operation against Manbij and other Syrian cities located in the north of the country.
