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."
