Eight U.S. service members were treated for traumatic brain injury and smoke inhalation after a one-way drone attack in Syria over the weekend, a Pentagon spokesperson confirmed Tuesday.

Of those eight, three service members have already returned to duty, and the rest are still under medical observation, Pentagon spokesperson Maj. Gen. Patrick Ryder told reporters at a briefing.

 
Ryder stressed that "none of the injuries are life-threatening," but provided no other details on the condition of the service members or the severity of the brain injuries.
