The U.S.-led counter-ISIS coalition confirmed that “indirect fire [had] struck in the vicinity of Green Village in Eastern Syria, constituting an attempted attack on our coalition forces and partners. There were no casualties or damage to infrastructure”. The coalition’s commander asserted that “actions like this are irresponsible and are attempts to distract our Partner Forces from their mission to clear ISIS. Due to its indiscriminate nature, the choice of weapon and the reckless manner of its use has needlessly put the lives of innocent civilians at risk”.
