There were no injuries or damage as a result of a rocket
that struck a US military base in the Koniko gas field in the eastern Syrian
province of Deir Ez-zor. According to local sources who spoke to Anadolu on
Monday, the attack was conducted from Deir Ez-zor neighborhoods that are home
to "terrorist groups supported by Iran."
These sources claimed that several missiles were fired
from Al-Bukamal, which is east of Deir Ez-zor, with one of them striking an
area close to the US military installation but doing little damage. Attacks
with missiles from areas where Iran-backed organizations are located have
occasionally been directed at US military and coalition forces bases in Syria.
On March 25, rocket attacks on two US bases in eastern
Syria reportedly damaged property but did not result in any injuries. The bases
were in close proximity to the Koniko gas field and the al-Omar oil field in
the Deir Ez-zor province. After Daesh/ISIS militants left the province in
November 2017, the Syrian regime took control of Deir Ez-zor, which is located
on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.
Since early 2011, when the Bashar Assad dictatorship
repressed pro-democracy protesters with extraordinary repression, Syria has
been engulfed in a bloody civil war.
