Death toll update | American airstrikes on Deir Ezzor leave eight members of Iranian militias dead

SOHR reported that the death toll of the combatants of the Iranian-backed militias due to the American airstrikes on Deir Ezzor during the few past hours, increased to eight, including at least one of Syrian nationality, in addition to Iraqis, and the toll is likely to increase due to the presence of severe injuries.
The American strikes targeted weapons and ammunition warehouses and a missile launcher in Hasrat in Al-Bokamal countryside, and Al-Haidariyah farms near Al-Mayadeen city, where at least four explosions hit Al-Bokamal, and a violent one hit Al-Mayadeen that was heard in Al-Bokamal as a part of the American bombing. The striking also resulted in the destruction of the targets and material damage as well.
Shortly before, SOHR reported that “Koniko” gas field of the “International Coalition” forces in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor, was subjected to a rocket shelling by the Iranian-backed militias, where the base was shelled with 15 rockets in the heaviest shelling from inside the Syrian territory. No causalities were reported.
In the early hours of today, drones of the militias also attacked Al-Omar oil field base of the International Coalition in the eastern countryside Deir Ezzor.
Moreover, explosions were heard in Al-Shadadi base area of the International Coalition in Al-Hassakah countryside, amid information of targeting the base by the Iranian militias.
After midnight today, violent explosions were heard in the vicinity of Al-Mayadeen city in the countryside of Deir Ezzor, in conjunction with the continued outbreak of fire in the area.
