White House National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said no American personnel were hurt in an attack on a U.S. base in northeast Syria on Friday, calling the incident an initial reaction to U.S. retaliatory strikes on Iran-aligned groups in the area. "It is not uncommon, when we take a retaliatory strike like this, for them to answer right back with some ineffective rocket fire.
