The United States military has launched air strikes against targets in Syria in the first retaliation for a drone attack that killed three soldiers at a remote US base in Jordan, US officials confirmed following media reports on Friday.

Three US soldiers were killed and about 40 others injured in a drone attack near the Jordan-Syria border on Sunday.

The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iran-linked groups, claimed responsibility for the drone attack.
