An explosion was heard in the vicinity of the US Victoria military site, near Baghdad Airport, west of the Iraqi capital, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Iraq.

Simultaneously, several powerful explosions occurred in the Al-Omar oil field and the gas line connecting the Conoco gas field and the Abu Khashab desert in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor. 

A local source told Sputnik that two explosions shook the area after two rocket shells targeted the Al-Omar oil field.

On Wednesday, the military spokesperson for the Iraqi Kataib Hezbollah, Jaafar al-Husseini, announced that the Iraqi Resistance has entered the battlefield as of today and is directing its strikes toward US bases.

Al-Husseini told Al Mayadeen that the Iraqi Resistance achieved today its first hits, confirming the continuation of its operations at a higher pace.

This comes after sources in the Iraqi Islamic Resistance confirmed to Al Mayadeen on Wednesday that the Resistance in Iraq claimed responsibility for multiple operations targeting US forces located on Iraqi soil, vowing more operations.

The sources said the Iraqi Islamic Resistance conducted "operations targeting US forces in Ain al-Assad and Harir in Iraqi Kurdistan."
