DAMASCUS (Sputnik) - Two rockets fell on Monday near a US military base controlling Al-Jabsa oil fields in the northeastern Syrian town of Ash Shaddadi, a local source told Sputnik.
"One of the two rockets fell in the vicinity of the field and the other near a mosque in the area adjacent to the US base, in the town of Ash Shaddadi," the source said.
The US military scrambled helicopters in response to the attack, which comes a day after a drone attack that killed three US troops and injured 25 others at another US base in Jordan, near the border with Syria.
