Thursday's drone attack left 1 dead
The latest incident came just a day after a militia drone strike killed a U.S. contractor, injured five American service members and wounded one other contractor in Syria, the Defense Department said.
Intelligence sources say the drone, which struck a U.S. base near Hasakah, was made by Iran, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in a statement.
The drone in Thursday's deadly attack struck a maintenance facility at the base around 1:38 p.m. local time, Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, the Pentagon press secretary, said at a news briefing Friday.
