Nearly two dozen U.S. service members were injured in a "helicopter mishap" involving an MH-47 Chinook in northeastern Syria on Sunday.
The incident, which affected an Army Delta Force command unit, resulted in injuries of various degrees, with 10 service members evacuated for higher care, none with life-threatening conditions.
An investigation is underway, with no enemy fire reported; a rotor problem causing a hard landing during takeoff is suspected as the cause.
