A US drone struck the vicinity of the industrial zone of Al-Mayadeen city in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. However, no casualties have been reported so far.
It is worth noting that this is the fifth attack waged by the International Coalition since dawn yesterday, that is since Ayyash warehouses were targeted, and the fourth attack in this day.
A few hours ago, SOHR activists reported that helicopters of the International Coalition targeted the positions of Iranian-backed militia with heavy machinegun near Industrial high school and Al-Ba’ath party headquarters in Al-Mayadeen city, east of Deir Ezzor. However, no casualties have been reported yet.
This morning, SOHR activists reported that US soldiers were injured by shells fired from Iranian-backed militia positions on Koniko gas field base in Deir Ezzor countryside.
Meanwhile, three Iranian-backed militiamen were killed in an attack waged by “International coalition,” on a rocket launch vehicle that was stationed in the vicinity of Deir Ezzor countryside in SDF-held areas.
The Coalition attack came four hours after the shelling hit Koniko gas field base.
After midnight, coalition forces also bombarded positions of Iranian-backed militia in Al-Mayadeen area, leaving no casualties.
Accordingly, the death toll of Iranian-backed militiamen rises to nine in less than 24 hours.
Iranian-backed militiamen in areas controlled by Iranian-backed militia in west Euphrates were put on high alert and repositioned and deployed in Al-Mayadeen and its countryside, Al-Bokamal, Al-Quriyah and the western banks of the Euphrates river, after a day of exchange of shelling and military escalation in the area.
Yesterday evening, SOHR activists reported that two missiles hit the vicinity of the International Coalition base in Koniko Gas Field in Deir Ezzor countryside, fired from areas of Iranian-backed militias in Hatla in northern Deir Ezzor countryside. However, no casualties were reported.
As a response, International Coalition forces then fired missiles at the sources of fire, amid the flight of Coalition helicopters in the region.
Earlier yesterday, explosions were heard in Deir Ezzor city, at dawn, caused by airstrikes by US aircraft, targeting “Ayyash” warehouses and an Iranian-backed militia military camp in Deir Ezzor.
According to the sources, at 4 A.M., the US aircraft launched over three airstrikes with high-explosive missiles, destroying Ayyash warehouses and AlSa’iqah camp, Afghan Fatimiyoun militia’s headquarters.
