US military ambushed in Syria: Trump warns of possible ISIS retaliation

An armed attack on the US military took place in Syria, killing two US soldiers and an interpreter. This was reported by Western media. US President Donald Trump said that the ISIS group could face retaliation for the attack.

The incident occurred on Saturday morning during a joint patrol of the Badia region by the US-led international coalition. During the inspection of a fortified command post, one of the attackers opened fire on the troops. Two US soldiers and an interpreter were killed in the attack, and several other soldiers were wounded.

The US President, commenting on the event, stressed that the United States would not leave the attack unanswered, and ISIS could face tough retaliatory actions. Washington notes that the circumstances of the attack are being investigated, and security measures for the US contingent in the region may be strengthened.

US troops are in Syria as part of operations against the remnants of the ISIS terrorist group. The Badia region is considered a high-risk area due to the activity of militants who periodically attack the international coalition forces.
