A US military helicopter crashed on Sunday in the northeastern region of Syria. The US military said 22 US service members were injured in the crash late on Monday.
During this, the US Army did not reveal how the plane crashed. During this, no specific information has been given about the seriousness of the injuries of the injured soldiers.
America’s Central Command says that 10 of the 22 injured have been sent out for treatment. The command says that experts are still investigating to find the cause of the crash.
Central Command, which oversees American troops in the Middle East, clarified that there was no enemy fire that day.
According to media reports, 900 American soldiers have been deployed in Syria. Most of them are living in eastern Syria. In recent years, Iran-backed militias have repeatedly attacked US troops there.
Iran carried out two consecutive attacks in March 2023 in Syria. 25 American soldiers were injured in this attack. During this, an American contractor was also killed.
According to the US Department of Defense, Iran-supporter groups have attacked their soldiers more than 70 times since 2021. During the Obama administration, America sent its army 7 years ago to stop ISIS in Syria.
Although the strength of ISIS in Syria is much less than before, hundreds of ISIS fighters still control the desolate places where neither America is occupied nor Iran is under control.
