A series of violent explosions rocked the military base in the US-occupied
Conoco oilfield in north-east Syria on 12 January, following a large rocket
attack, Sputnik's correspondent reported.
According to the correspondent, the attack "destroyed the base and its
surroundings. American air defenses tried to confront the missile attack with
their ground and air anti-aircraft weapons, to no avail ... the American
occupation army's air force and helicopters, in the meantime, began flying over
the skies of the towns surrounding its bases" in the oilfields of Conoco and
Al-Omar.
The attack comes just days after US forces carried out live drills near the
Conoco base, aimed at training for potential attacks on the facility.
The Iraqi resistance has yet to confirm the attack.
On 11 January, the Iraqi resistance announced an attack on the US base of
Al-Shaddadi in north-east Syria.
The Islamic Resistance in Iraq, a coalition of Iraqi resistance factions which
banded together in October, have been striking US bases with drones and missiles
in both Iraq and Syria. The attacks come in solidarity with the resistance in
Gaza and in rejection of US support for the Israeli assault on the besieged Gaza
Strip.
