A US base in northeast Syria came under missile attack after US air strikes targeted Iranian-backed groups the day before. According to Interfax, this is reported by The Hill with reference to the representative of the US Central Command (CENTCOM), Major John Moore.
He specified that as a result of the shelling of the base located in the area of the Al-Omar field, there were no casualties.
Earlier, the Pentagon said that the United States on Thursday night launched strikes against formations associated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of Iran in eastern Syria. The U.S. Defense Department said in a statement that on Thursday, a drone attacked a maintenance facility at an international coalition base in Hasakah province in northeastern Syria, killing one soldier and injuring six others.
The Hill recalls that about 900 US troops are stationed in eastern Syria. At the same time, this week the head of CENTCOM, General Michael Kurilla, said that since 2021, pro-Iranian groups have attacked US troops in Syria at least 78 times.
