The Islamic Resistance in Iraq announced that it attacked the American bases of Al-Omar and Al-Shaddadi fields deep in Syria, using drone strikes.
Tehran (ISNA) - It has been reported that the sounds of explosions were heard from inside the American base in the city of Al-Shaddadi, south of Al-Hasakah Governorate, noting that the US air defense systems attempted to repel the attack.
Our correspondent further reported that the "Green Village", which contains the housing of American forces at the base of the Al-Omar oil field in the Deir Ezzor countryside, was also targeted.
Ash Shadadi occupation base is just one kilometer southeast of the city of Al-Shadadi; it has helipads and is equipped to launch all sorts of drones.
As for the Al-Omar field base, it is located in the workers' city of the Al-Omar oil field in the Deir Ezzor countryside. It is the largest American base.
According to the White House, attacks on US forces in the Ain Al-Assad base by the Islamic Resistance in Iraq over the weekend are being taken "extremely seriously."
