Hours of aerial attacks | More explosions hit al-Bokamal city in west Euphrates, along with ongoing flights by drones

Deir Ezzor province: SOHR activists have reported hearing four explosions in al-Bokamal city near the Iraqi borders in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.

 

The explosions coincided with flights by drones over the region. No further details have been reported on the source of the explosions whether they were ground blasts or new airstrikes on the factions’ posts.

 

The attacks came a few hours after the city had came under drone attacks, as SOHR activists reported earlier that an unidentified drone struck the outskirts of al-Bokamal city in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, where Iranian-backed militias were stationed. Plumes of smoke were seen in the targeted sites. However, no casualties were reported.

 

This attack occurred a few days after replacing Iranian-backed militias’ flags with the internationally recognized Syrian ones in some posts and military headquarters of these militias in al-Bokamal city, fearing expected attacks.

 

On November 12, SOHR activists in al-Bokamal city in eat countryside of Deir Ezzor reported that Iran-backed factions removed their banners from the top of the Cultural Center and some of their military headquarters in the city and replaced them with the internationally recognized Syrian flags.

 

The moves were conducted over fears of being targeted in light of the flying of two unknown drones since the early hours of Friday morning until now over the city.
