Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Aleppo reported on Monday at dawn that four missiles struck the US military base in al-Omar oil field and the American Kharab al-Jir base in eastern Syria was targeted with three missiles and a drone.

The correspondent confirmed that the targeting of the two US bases comes approximately two months after attacks on US bases in eastern Syria stopped, and mentioned reports suggesting direct casualties within the US base in Kharab al-Jir.

Our correspondent reported that the two most significant US military bases in eastern Syria were targeted less than an hour apart. The first incident occurred with explosions heard from the US base in the Green Village near al-Omar oil field in the countryside of Deir Ezzor in the eastern part of the country. Subsequently, three explosions were heard in the vicinity of the US base at Kharab al-Jir airport north of al-Hasakah.

Earlier in February, sources to Al Mayadeen reported that al-Omar oil field was attacked with several rocket shells, reporting significant damage. The international coalition, in turn, targeted positions of the Syrian Army auxiliary forces located in Mayadin, east Deir Ezzor. 

A local Sputnik correspondent detailed that five rockets targeted the US military base in al-Omar oil field, hitting its southern vicinity, adding that a suicide drone targeted the base's Green zone.

"In response," the correspondent added, "the American air force launched four airstrikes on positions of the auxiliary Syrian army forces in the Mayadin desert in the Deir Ezzor countryside."
