Rocket attack launched on US base in Syria

A rocket attack was carried out in the vicinity of the al-Shaddadi base, where US forces are stationed, in Syria's Al-Hasakah province.

According to information obtained from local sources, a rocket attack was launched near the al-Shaddadi base in the south of Al-Hasakah, where US forces are stationed.

It is not yet known whether there were any casualties in the attack.

No statement has been made by the US regarding the attack.

In recent times, bases where the US military is stationed in Syria—including the al-Tanf region, the al-Malikiyah district near the Iraqi border, the al-Shaddadi district in Al-Hasakah province, and Deir ez-Zor province—have been targeted by attacks using unidentified armed unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and surface-to-surface weapons.

Iran-backed groups occasionally carry out attacks with rockets and UAVs on US bases on the eastern bank of the Euphrates River.

IRAN'S MESSAGES

In a speech on October 17, 2023, Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that if Israel's attacks continued, "resistance forces" in the region would take action.

Following this, attacks with kamikaze drones and rockets began to be carried out on bases where the US military is stationed in Syria and Iraq. Iran-backed groups in Syria and Iraq claim responsibility for the attacks.

The US administration, which blames Iran for the attacks, announced that it had conducted several airstrikes on facilities used by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and its affiliated groups in eastern Syria, the first of which took place on October 27, 2023.
