BEIRUT—A facility housing U.S. troops in eastern Syria came under attack late Sunday when rockets were fired from nearby areas, an opposition war monitor, state media, and a spokesman for U.S.-backed fighters said, though the U.S. military denied there was any attack.

“There is no truth to the reports that U.S. forces in Syria were attacked by rockets today,” wrote coalition spokesman Col. Wayne Marotto on Twitter.
