Another rocket attack on a US base in eastern Syria.
Coinciding with reports from the Iraqi and Syrian media about the escalation of attacks on US bases, news sources reported that the US base in eastern Syria was again targeted by rockets.
Local Syrian sources told Sputnik this evening (Thursday) that the US base at the largest gas field in eastern Syria had been targeted this morning.
The sources told a Sputnik correspondent in Deir ez-Zor, Syria, that an illegal US base had been attacked with four rockets, which could be heard in nearby areas; But there is no exact information about the amount of damage to the US base.
The news website of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which is close to the opposition, also reported this morning, saying that several explosions had been heard near the coalition base at the Koniko gas field.
However, the Observer wrote that it was not yet clear exactly what happened around the US base.
Local sources told Sputnik that after the attack on the US base, US forces were on standby in the area and deployed around the base.
According to the report, helicopters and warplanes flew over the region as US troops prepared, causing panic among villagers and the area around the Koniko gas field; In particular, American fighter jets were flying at high speeds and at low altitudes, which broke the sound barrier and created a terrible noise in the area.
