MEHR: Two US military bases in southeast and east Syria have been reportedly targeted in drone and rocket attacks.
Lebanon’s al-Mayadeen news network reported on Thursday that the Al-Tanf base, located in Homs Governorate, was targeted by three drones, but the extent of damage is still unknown.
Sabereen News, a Telegram news channel associated with Iraqi anti-terror Popular Mobilization Units, also reported the incident.
The Al-Tanf base is located 24 km west of the al-Walid border crossing in the Syrian Desert, along the Iraq-Syria border and the Jordan-Syria border.
The illegal US military forces’ presence at the base began in early 2016 during the US-led intervention in Syria under the pretext of fighting the Daesh terrorist group.
Meanwhile, according to Sabereen, another base of the American occupation forces in the Koniko gas field in the eastern Syrian governorate of Dayr al-Zawr was also targeted with rockets.
Informed sources reported the sound of several explosions in this base, but no party has yet claimed responsibility for these attacks, it added.
