Four U.S. service members were injured early Thursday morning when their base in northeast Syria came under rocket fire, the U.S.-led anti-ISIS coalition said in a statement.

The troops were being evaluated for "minor injuries and possible traumatic brain injuries," according to the statement Thursday from Operation Inherent Resolve.

The attack happened at 1:09 a.m. local time at a base known as Green Village, just east of the Euphrates River and near major oil fields. Two rounds of indirect fire hit two support buildings at the base, according to the statement.

We never should have gotten involved, let alone having a base there.
