U.S. special forces conducted a “counterterrorism mission” in northwest Syria, the Pentagon said early Thursday.
“The mission was successful. There were no U.S. casualties. More information will be provided as it becomes available,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby said in a brief statement.
More information would be released as available, Kirby said. The Pentagon did not immediately disclose the target of the raid.
The U.S. was involved in an air campaign against the ISIS terrorist group (banned in Russia), which once claimed control of parts of Syria and Iraq. American forces have also conducted airstrikes since then, including last year.
