After the attack, several explosions occurred on the base, Al Mayadeen TV channel reported. In addition, according to the TV channel, unmanned aerial vehicles attacked the US base in Al-Shaddadi in the south of Hasakah province. The Islamic Resistance of Iraq movement claimed responsibility for the attacks; it includes fighters from Shiite armed groups who fought against terrorists from the Islamic State group (an organization whose activities are banned in the Russian Federation). The TV channel cited a statement from the organization, according to which Shiite fighters had previously attacked the US and Western coalition base in the city of Al-Tanf and the nearby Al-Rukban refugee camp, where the Syrian armed opposition is stationed. No other details have been reported. As Regnum reported , on October 23 the United States accused Iran of attacks on American targets in the Middle East. According to White House Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby , missile and drone attacks on US facilities in Iraq and Syria have increased recently. On October 19, three drones attacked the American military base at Tanf in the Syrian province of Homs. This was reported by members of the Islamic Resistance of Iraq. The Al Jazeera television channel reported that only one drone reached its target, while the other two destroyed the air defense forces of the US-led coalition. The drones also struck the Conoco gas field in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor. Five explosions occurred near the border with Iraq, journalists added. |
