(CNN)The US military conducted strikes in Syria after indirect fire posed what a US-led coalition official called "an imminent threat" to troops near Green Village, a base in the east of the country near the Iraqi border.
While the US is not officially confirming it conducted the strikes, a defense official with direct knowledge noted that only US forces in that area have weapons capable of carrying out these kinds of strikes.
Preliminary assessments have concluded the strikes destroyed the seven Katyusha rocket sites they were targeting.
"Indirect fire attacks pose a serious threat to innocent civilians because of their lack of discrimination," the Operation Inherent Resolve official said in a statement.
