"Fighters of the Islamic resistance in Iraq have launched a missile attack on the US occupation base of al-Shaddadi south of the Syrian city of Al Hasakah and hit it," the Iraqi military group said in a statement.
On Tuesday, Pentagon spokesperson Patrick Ryder said that US military bases in the Middle East had been attacked at least 27 times over the past two weeks, including 16 times in Iraq and 11 in Syria.
The US military currently operates 24 military bases in Syria. The Syrian government considers the presence of the US military on its territory as occupation and state piracy.
