Amman, Jordan:

Jordan stated Sunday a drone assault that killed three US troops didn’t happen on its territory as Washington reported earlier however at a military base in Syria close to the border.

Authorities spokesman Muhannad Mubaidin stated the “assault that focused the American forces didn’t occur in Jordan… It focused Al-Tanf base in Syria”, the place US forces are deployed as a part of a world anti-jihadist coalition.
