Like when the U.S. struck Iran-backed groups in Syria and Iraq, I'm going to start this thread for rumored information, please refer to the quoted tweet for confirmed bits regarding the incident.
Initial reports of an American counterattack underway now.
Roughly 60 U.S. vehicles have entered the Al-Hasakah area according to @AlArabiya_Brk.
Being reported by Syrian state media, so I'm a bit skeptical of the above.

Bunch of rumors swirling around at the moment regarding this situation. I'll be trying to use this thread to lay some of those out, to avoid it getting confused w/ the confirmed bits of information.
1 - Talk of at least 5 militia members killed in airstrikes.

2 - Al-Hadath is reporting that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad as well as U.S. military bases in the country have entered a state of alert following the airstrikes.
Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada has issued a statement to U.S. forces in Iraq. (ht @ELINTNews)

"Flee to your shelters for the bases of your occupation are within the range of our rockets, and we will avenge the blood of the martyrs."

China: The U.S. gov't is assessing a reported leak at a Chinese nuclear facility after a French company that partially owns and operates the facility warned of an "imminent radiological threat". Biden administration believes the facility is "not yet at crisis level", per CNN.
Warning by the French company also included an accusation that Chinese authorities were raising the acceptable limits for radiation detection outside of Taishan Nuclear Power Plant in Guangdong province to avoid having to close the plant.
Nonetheless, the situation is important enough that the U.S. National Security Council held multiple meetings regarding the topic last week as they monitored the situation. Meetings were deputy level & assistant secretary level.
