Two US bases in northeastern Syria hit with missiles, drone

Tehran, IRNA- Two US military bases in the northeastern Syrian province of Hasaka have come under fresh missile and drone attacks, news sources reported in the early hours of Monday.

Lebanese media reports say four missiles hit the Al-Omar Oil Field base while three missiles and a drone targeted the Kharab al-Jir base, both facilities located in northeastern Syria. 

According to the Al-Mayadeen news network, an explosion occurred at the al-Omar oil field following the strike.

The Russian news agency Sputnik has also confirmed that the attacks were carried out with a drone and missiles and hit the American military bases.

The Reuters, citing two security sources, reported that five rockets were fired from Iraq's town of Zummar toward a US military base in northeastern Syria.

US military facilities and bases in Syria have come under repeated attacks in recent months amid growing anti-American sentiment in the region. 

The latest attack against US forces, however, is the first since early February when an Iraqi resistance group targeted an American base in Jordan killing several troopers. 

Resistance groups in Iraq and elsewhere are outraged at the US military presence in the region, which they say is a source of instability, as well as Washington’s support for the Israeli regime in its ongoing genocidal war on Gaza.
