Death toll from US strikes on pro-Iran installations in Syria rises to 19 fighters, says Syrian war
(Reuters) - The death toll in US air strikes on pro-Iran installations in eastern Syria has risen to 19 fighters, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a war monitor, said on Saturday.
The observatory said that toll was from the initial US response to a drone attack on Thursday on a US military position in Syria that killed one American contractor and wounded another contractor and five troops.
Reuters was unable to independently confirm the toll.
