According to TV channel sources El MayadeenA rocket attack was carried out on the American base in the Omar oil field in Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria. TV channel sources said that many missiles were fired at the American base.
It was reported that a fire broke out at the base. Shortly after the attack, American military planes began to tour the eastern part of Deir ez-Zor province.
Earlier, Pentagon Deputy Press Secretary Sabrina Singh said that since October 17, US military personnel and bases in the Middle East have been bombed 55 times, resulting in 59 injuries.
US armed forces control the regions in eastern and northeastern Syria, in Deir ez-Zor, Hasakah and Raqqa provinces, where Syria’s largest oil and natural gas fields are located.
The Damascus government has repeatedly described the presence of American troops on its territory as an invasion and state piracy for the obvious purpose of oil theft.
American political scientist Konstantin Blokhin on Tsargrad.tv expressed The assumption is that the US has military bases in Syria not only to enrich itself at the expense of foreign resources, but also to undermine Russia’s position. He reminded that Moscow is one of Damascus’s main allies and, in a sense, acts as a guarantor of the territorial integrity of the Arab republic.
Previously in Iraq shots were fired US base.
