Direct translation via Google Translate. Edit.
[REGNUM] In Syria, unknown persons fired at a US military base. This was announced on July 4 by the Al Arabiya TV channel, citing its sources.

According to the latest data, a total of two rockets were fired at a military facility located in the area of ​​the Al-Omar oil field in the northeastern province of Deir ez-Zor.

So far, nothing is known about the results of the rocket attack.

As reported by IA REGNUM , on June 29, the head of the White House, Joe Biden, said that the United States was ready to repeat airstrikes similar to those that had previously been inflicted on the border region of Iraq and Syria, if necessary.

According to Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
Despite the fact that the United States rejects the fact of the shelling (stating that it was they who destroyed the ISIS explosives near the base and the explosion occurred due to the accidental ignition of a temporary warehouse with explosives),

Syrian, pro-Iranian (they write about 9 missiles fired of which up to base flew 2) Turkish and Kurdish sources confirm the attack (including official SDF sources).

It is reported that there were no casualties as a result of the shelling (SDF claims that 2 unguided rockets flew into the target - most likely either 107mm or 122mm), but some material damage was caused. Just like the last time.

US sez, "What rocket attack? LOL"
[REGNUM] On July 5, Colonel Wayne Marotto , an official representative of the US-led international anti-terrorist coalition, denied information about the missile attack on the American armed forces in Syria on his Twitter.

Colonel Marotto called false information that US forces in Syria were fired upon.
