US attacks targets in Syria in retaliation for the death of three soldiers in Jordan. The bombings occurred shortly after Joe Biden presided over the arrival in the United States of the mortal remains of the three soldiers killed on Sunday.

At the moment the Pentagon has not made any announcement. The coffins of Sergeants William Rivers, Breonna Moffett and Kennedy Sanders, all from the southern state of Georgia, arrived at the Dover base aboard a large Lockheed C-5 Galaxy military transport aircraft. Six soldiers carried the coffins, each draped with an American flag, from the Air Force base to a hearse van.
