Two US military facilities sitting on natural oil and gas fields in eastern Syria came under fire on Saturday, local Syrian sources told Sputnik. The missile strike on the Koniko gas field in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor was followed by a drone attack on a US installation in the Omar oil field in the same province, another source said. These are the latest in a string of more than 160 attacks on US facilities in Syria and neighboring Iraq that Washington attributes to Iran-backed militias. The Pentagon retaliated last week by striking targets belonging to militant groups who it says killed three US troops in an attack on a US outpost in Jordan in early February. Iraq and Syria condemned the US aggression against their territories.

At Least Two US Military Bases Under Fire in Eastern Syria: Sources
DAMASCUS (Sputnik) - The US armed forces illegally control territories in the east and northeast of Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasakah and Raqqa, where Syria's largest oil and gas fields are located. Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of the US military an occupation and state piracy for the purpose of blatant oil theft.
Two US military facilities sitting on natural oil and gas fields in eastern Syria came under fire on Saturday, local Syrian sources told Sputnik.
"Four missiles fell on the territory of a US base in Koniko," a source said.
The missile strike on the Koniko gas field in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor was followed by a drone
attack on a US installation in the Omar oil field in the same province, another source said.
"Three drones attacked an American base. Several explosions were heard at the base," the source said, adding US air defenses failed to foil the attack.
These are the latest in a string of more than 160 attacks on US facilities in Syria and neighboring Iraq that Washington attributes to Iran-backed militias. The Pentagon retaliated last week by
striking targets belonging to militant groups who it says killed three US troops in an attack on a US outpost in Jordan in early February. Iraq and Syria condemned the US aggression against their territories.
