The US coalition today (Friday) amended its previous statement regarding the wounding of its forces in eastern Syria.
The U.S. coalition said in a statement on the 18th of this month that two coalition forces had been wounded in an indirect shooting in al-Quraiyah village near Deir ez-Zor, Syria. However, the coalition said in another statement that it had increased the number of wounded to four US servicemen, saying that they had been superficially wounded and suffered concussions.
The International Coalition Against ISIL announced today (Friday) on its Twitter account:
After further investigation, Operation Determined officials determined that the blasts in Green Village were not caused by indirect fire but by bombs deliberately planted by an unidentified person (or persons) in an ammunition depot and bathroom. They were.
The statement added that the investigation into the incident was ongoing and that more information would be provided.
