ALWAGHT- Resistance forces in Iraq fired missiles at a US military base located in Syria's Conoco gas field, triggering intense US air activity and subsequent shelling in Deir ez-Zur.
According to reports, resistance forces in Iraq launched four missiles at a US military base in the Conoco gas field in eastern Syria on Tuesday evening. The attack prompted intense aerial activity by US warplanes over the Deir ez-Zur countryside.
Following the missile strike, local sources reported that US forces retaliated by shelling towns in Deir ez-Zur. Two US officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters that the missiles missed the base and there were no reported injuries.
In a separate incident, a Pentagon official reported that eight American soldiers were injured in a drone attack on the Kharab Al-Jir base in Syria on Friday. While none of the injuries were severe, some personnel were being evaluated for "traumatic brain injuries," the official told Reuters on Saturday.
US forces in Syria's northeastern Hasakah province were targeted by a drone attack on Saturday, resulting in several explosions at the Kharab al-Jir Air Base after an explosive-laden drone hit the facility.
Additionally, on Monday, a rocket strike wounded five US personnel at the Ain al-Asad airbase in Iraq's Anbar province.
