Militants allied with Iran launched attacks on three military bases of the US-led international coalition in the rural areas of Deir al-Zour and Al-Hasakah provinces in Syria.
The assaults involved missile barrages targeting coalition bases in the Conoco gas field and the Al-Omar oil field in the northern and eastern countryside of Deir al-Zour, as well as the Khirab Al-Jeer base near the city of Rmelan in the northeastern countryside of Al-Hasakah.
In response, the international coalition dispatched two cargo planes on Saturday, carrying military equipment, including advanced weapons, from their bases in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to the “Khirab Al-Jeer” base in the northeastern countryside of Al-Hasakah province.
These deployments were part of significant reinforcements sent by the coalition to its bases in eastern and northeastern Syria.
The attacks coincided with the coalition’s sending of a cargo plane from the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to the “Khirab Al-Jeer” base on Friday, also loaded with military equipment.
Simultaneously, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) stated in an announcement that they had intercepted a rocket launch platform originating from areas controlled by the Syrian army.
The platform was reportedly intended for attacks on the international coalition’s bases in the eastern region of Syria.
An explosion occurred in the countryside of Daraa, resulting in the death of a Russian soldier and the injury of two others, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Observatory reported that a Russian soldier was killed, and two others were injured in the explosion of a landmine in the countryside of Daraa.
Unknown militants targeted a Russian forces’ convoy with an explosive device on a bridge near the town of Mahja, north of Daraa.
Daraa is a province located in the southern part of Syria. It was one of the early epicenters of the Syrian uprising in 2011 and witnessed significant clashes between government forces and opposition groups.
