US military bases in eastern Syria targeted in missile strikes

Approximately one hour later, the US base at Kharab al-Jir was targeted with three missiles and a drone strike.

These attacks come after a two-month lull in hostilities. Local sources report possible casualties at the Kharab al-Jir base, though details remain unconfirmed.

The strikes on al-Omar and Kharab al-Jir, considered the most significant US military outposts in eastern Syria, raise concerns about escalating tensions in the region.  In February, similar attacks on al-Omar prompted retaliatory airstrikes by the US-led coalition against Syrian Army auxiliary forces.

The perpetrators of the latest attacks remain unidentified. (ILKHA)
