In a statement, the coalition said its service members were located with the SDF, an alliance of militias in northern and eastern Syria, during an attack 8 km (5 miles) east of the Euphrates River deconfliction line.
“In defense of Coalition and partner forces, the Coalition conducted strikes against attacking forces to repel the act of aggression against partners engaged in the Global Coalition’s defeat-Daesh mission,” the statement said, using an Arab acronym for ISIS.
