[REGNUM] The US military base, located in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor, was attacked with missiles. This was reported on October 23 by the Al-Alam TV channel, citing eyewitnesses.

The US military base is located near the Omar oil field. According to the channel, at least five explosions sounded at the facility, after which a fire started. Information about possible victims is being specified.

The shelling was carried out from the area bordering with Iraq. It is noted that coalition helicopters in response attacked the positions of Shiite detachments in the vicinity of Al-Meyadin and Zeyban.
Update from Rudaw at 7:00 p.m. ET:
Telegram channels affiliated to Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) reported the incident as a drone strike targeting US forces, but these claims have not been confirmed. No official US comment has been made about the incident.

The al-Omar oilfield is used by the SDF as a base to pursue attacks on Islamic State (ISIS) remnants who are active in the province. US troops are stationed in the Green Village area within the oilfield.
