Local sources, cited by Syrian state news agency SANA, noted “unusual movements of the occupation forces” following the blast, but details were scarce as the area is controlled by the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces. A US defense official confirmed the attack to Reuters, but said the fire was “indirect” and apparently caused no casualties or damage.
This is the latest in a series of attacks against American forces in Syria. On June 28, a US base near the Omar oil field in Deir Ez-Zor was struck by mortar fire, and over the past week there were several reports of attempted drone attacks allegedly thwarted by SDF. US forces are also taking heat across the border in Iraq, with over a dozen rockets hitting an Iraqi air base hosting US forces this week alone, injuring at least two American soldiers.

An explosion has taken place at Koniko gas factory which the US occupation forces are taking as a military base in Deir Ezzor eastern countryside.
ReplyDeleteLocal sources told SANA reporter that an explosion took place after midnight inside a military base for the US occupation forces at Koniko gas factory in the eastern countryside.
The sources added that unusual movements of the occupation forces were observed in the area after the explosion, without providing details of its causes or results due to the closure imposed by the occupation in the vicinity of the base.
Last Thursday, drones targeted the US occupation base in al-Omar oil field in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, for the third time within days.
The areas where the US occupation-backed QSD militia spread, have witnessed in recent days an escalation in attacks by popular factions targeting the militia’s positions and axes of movement in the region.
