On Feb. 12, U.S. military convoys, conducting a patrol near Qamishli in northeast, Syria, encountered a checkpoint occupied by pro-Syrian regime forces.
After U.S. troops issued a series of warnings and de-escalation attempts, the patrol came under small arms fire from unknown individuals. In self-defense, Coalition troops returned fire.
“The situation was de-escalated and is under investigation. The Coalition patrol returned to base,†said Coalition military spokesman, Col. Myles B. Caggins III.
