US occupation forces have carried out deadly strikes against Syrian military for the second day in a row, as Washington is scrambling to deter the resistance front’s retaliations against the Israeli regime’s genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip and carnage in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon's al-Mayadeen television network said the American aggression in the early hours of Wednesday hit positions on the outskirts of the city of al-Bukamal in Syria's eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr near the Iraqi border.
The television network said the airstrikes targeted sites of the Syrian army's auxiliary forces in al-Jam'iyat area in the city of al-Bukamal and the al-Bukamal Desert, adding that three people were killed and five others injured.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) claimed in a statement on its X social media account that the strikes hit a militia group’s “weapons storage and logistics headquarters facility.”
The statement claimed that the airstrikes were in response to a rocket attack on US personnel at Patrol Base Shaddadi in northeast Syria, which it claimed had “inflicted no damage to the facility or injuries to US or partner forces.”.....more below
