In another back-and-forth this month, the U.S. military said it killed several militants attacking its outposts in Deir ez-Zor in northeastern Syria on Wednesday night and Thursday morning.

Militants attacked the bases at approximately 7:20 pm Wednesday when several rockets landed inside the perimeter of Mission Support Site Conoco and near the vicinity of Mission Support Site Green Village. The U.S. has argued that the militants are backed by Iran, a charge Tehran has denied.
