Al Mayadeen sources reported earlier today that the US occupation base in the Conoco gas plant in Deir Ezzor countryside was targeted with a number of missiles. According to the sources, two missiles fell near soldiers' housing units, with no casualties reported.

In the same context, local sources reported on Wednesday that the US occupation base located in the Conoco natural gas field in the Syrian governorate of Deir Ezzor was shelled by multiple rockets. 

According to reports, about 10 rockets were fired at the US occupation base. As soon as the attack happened, sirens were sounded inside the base. Shortly after, US helicopters and warplanes began overflights. 

Reports say that the attack was carried out by an unknown group.

They also revealed that several US troops and staffers were injured in the attack. 

Syria’s General Organization of Radio and TV reported last Friday that several missiles were fired at the base.
