| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [RIA] The American base at the Omar oil field in the province of Deir ez-Zor in eastern Syria came under rocket fire and explosions were heard on its territory, a local source told RIA Novosti." “The American base at the Omar field was fired at by four missiles,” he said, noting that explosions occurred at the base after the shelling. The source added that after the shelling, American helicopters took off into the skies over Deir ez-Zor. Since the beginning of the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, US bases leading the international coalition in Iraq, as well as American troops in Syria, have been regularly attacked, for which armed Shiite groups operating in Iraq claim responsibility. The US military illegally controls areas in eastern and northeastern Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, al-Hasakah and Raqqa, where the country's largest oil and gas fields are located. Official Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of American troops on its territory occupation and state piracy for the purpose of blatant oil theft. |
