A U.S. service member has died in a non-combat incident in northern Syria.
Operation Inherent Resolve officials announced Monday that the service member's identity will be withheld until next of kin are notified.

Spc. Michael T. Osorio, 20, from Horseshoe Bend, Idaho, died April 23 in Taji, Iraq, officials said in a release at the time.
Spc. Ryan Dennis Orin Riley, 22, from Richmond, Kentucky, died April 20 in Ninawa Province, Iraq.
