The United States Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that one of its bases in Syria’s northeastern Syrian region came under attack on February 18.
In a statement that was released a day after the attack, the command said that the Green Village base, which is located within al-Omar oil fields in the southeastern Deir Ezzor countryside, was targeted with two rockets.
“No U.S. or Coalition troops were killed or wounded and there was no damage to Coalition infrastructure or equipment. U.S. forces in northeast Syria are investigating this incident. There are no claims of responsibility at this time,” the statement reads.
The attack on the Green Village base was first reported by different Syrian news sources. The same sources said that the coalition’s Mission Support Site Conoco, which is located within a gas plant a few kilometers to the north of al-Omar oil fields, was also targeted with several rockets. CENTCOM has not confirmed or denied this yet.
A few hours after the attack, a series of Israeli strikes hit targets in the Syrian capital Damascus and in nearby areas. One of the targets was a multi-storey building located near key Iranian installations in the highly-secured Kafar Sousah neighborhood. Five people, including four civilians, were killed and 15 others were wounded as a result of the strikes.
Syrian and Iraqi factions affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were blamed for several attacks that targeted U.S. bases in Syria over the last few years. Some of the attacks were indeed carried out in response to Israeli strikes on Syria, or sabotage attacks within Iran.
The U.S. will not likely respond to the rocket attack on the Green Village base as the side responsible for the attack remains unknown.
American occupying base should be flattened completely, they would have no recourse since they don’t belong there.
Great shame it wasn’t smashed up
So there were killed and damage to the base. ok. good!
“Syrian and Iraqi factions affiliated with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) were blamed”
There is nothing to be blamed in, they are doing right thing, because their fight is just — they are trying to expel invaders out of their land. Iran is official ally of Syria, so they have same legal rights in a part of foreign aggressors. By the way, those syrians, iraqis and iranians are real jihadists and mujaheedins who shows true example of gazavat against satanic forces of sodomites and rats from al-CIAeda/DAESH.
It depends. You say that you support USSR. USSR supported Saddam against Iran.
Russia is not Syria, Iraq, Yemen or such other places America has conquered over time.
Granted indeed as America may have won against Grenada which is the only war America seems to have “won”.
You America are a sad empire in dying throes as there are no more countries or resourses in our world for you to win and control.
Russia is not Iraq or Afgan with no means of defense as Russia is a stoic people who will fight to the death.
Just wake up American Joe, go on home as you should have a country of yer own.
Just go on home American Joe and we will try to police our own fuckin world.
I hate it when my country’s military tries to justify its actions in a country they are illegally in, smh.
The Russian Investigative Committee has just received confirmation that the Ukrainian special services organized the attack on the Crimean bridge
Why is this important? It could give Putin a legal reason to declare war on Ukraine in his upcoming address.
Teraz ešte aby bolo potvrdené, že na Nord Stream a Nord Stream II, spáchali teroristický útok USA a Nórsko. Tým by sa tiež mnohé vyriešilo. Samozrejme až po tom ako by BR OSN neurobila žiadne rezolútne rozhodnutie o potrestaní teroristov. Sankcie a zaviazanie k náhrade škody a tiež danie poškodeného zariadenia do pôvodného stavu.
Ukraine has already bombed Russian cities, he has legal reson already
I’m not trying to argue, but no more confirmation is needed after ukro-terrorists took responsibility. Legal basis for the operation is: 1.Protection of RF citizens living in LDPR; 2.Protection of LDPR as formal allies under aggression; 3.Refuse of Kiev regime to fulfill the Minsk and Minsk-2 agreements. As all guarantors already said – they were trying to trick Putin and get more time to nazis for prepare the war. For the war with Russia. They didn’t say it, but this is obvious, the Kiev regime has no other objects for aggression. Plus repressions against russian people and the Orthodox Church, not saying that all of the Ukraine is historical Russia populated by ethnic russian people, but oppressed now with sadistic info technologies and physical terror. This is enough to destroy russophobic western/polish project completely, and this is just and fair by any objective measure. It’s not the matter of hate and anger, but protection and restoring of fairness. The bridge is simply a drop in ocean of nazist crimes. That’s my own opinion.
Čo robí Turecko? Drieme? To si fakt nechá ľúbiť? Darebácky štát USA kradne ropu Sýrii a zo zisku potom podporuje teroristov z Kurdskej strany, ktorý sú proti Turecku a páchajú v v Turecku teroristické útoky!!! To Turecko sa iba nečinne prihliada? To potom vyzerá tak ako by Turecko bolo vazalom USA a Erdogan nemal gule!!! Je čas dať jasne na vedomie darebákom z USA, že takto to ďalej ísť nemôže. Či?
