Missile strike hits a US military base in Syria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] A US military base located in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor, near the Koniko gas field, was hit by a missile attack. This was reported by RIA Novosti with reference to a local source. “Several explosions were heard in and around the US base due to rocket fire,” the report said. Three days earlier, a Lebanese television channel reported about an explosion at a US military base in Syria in the province of Deir ez-Zor. It was about the same base near the Koniko gas field. Journalists assumed that this was a missile strike. No data on consequences were provided. Against the background of the worsening Palestinian-Israeli conflict, American bases in the Middle East began to come under more frequent shelling, in particular from artillery and using drones. So, in October, the bases of Al-Shaddadi in Syria and Ein al-Assad in Iraq were attacked. As a result of the attack on the At-Tanf base, 20 American troops were injured. During the attack on Ain al-Assad, one person died of a heart attack and four more were wounded. The Pentagon reported that between Oct. 17 and Oct. 24, suspected Iran-linked militias attacked U.S. troops in Iraq 10 times and three times in Syria with missiles and drones.
