The US Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that one of its occupation bases in Syria was targeted on Saturday night: "This evening at approximately 10:12 p.m. local time in Syria [19:12 GMT on Saturday], a 107mm rocket attack targeting Coalition Forces near the Rmelan Landing Zone failed."

In a statement issued at dawn Sunday, CENTCOM claimed that "No U.S. or partnered forces were killed or injured and neither facilities nor equipment were damaged. Additional rockets were found at the launch origin site."

CENTCOM further added that "Additional rockets were found at the launch origin site," noting that "CENTCOM forces are investigating the attack." 

The Syrian Foreign Ministry accused the US, on Saturday, of stealing and exporting Syrian oil across the Syrian-Iraqi border and transporting it to northern Iraq, describing it as piracy and an attempt to "return to colonial times."

She explained that in the past weeks, the American forces intensified the operations of extracting Syrian oil, and took out hundreds of tanks loaded with oil that they had stolen from the oil fields on the island, especially the Rmelan fields, to their bases in Iraqi territory, in cooperation with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

And Syrian TV had announced that the US forces had carried out an airdrop operation in the southern countryside of Qamishli, noting that it resulted in the death of one person.
