Syria: US-led coalition forces intercept six drone attacks aimed at Conoco oil fields base in Deir Ez-Zur Governorate Feb. 10
US-led coalition intercepts six drone attacks targeting Conoco oil fields base in Deir Ez-Zur, Syria, Feb. 10. Further violence likely.
US-led coalition forces have reportedly intercepted at least six drone attacks that targeted their Conoco oil fields base in Deir Ez-Zur Governorate Feb. 10. There were no immediate reports of injuries or significant material damage. The thwarted drone assaults come amid a series of tit-for-tat attacks between the US government and Iran-aligned Shi'a militias in Syria and Iraq.
Similar attacks will likely target US-led coalition forces and facilities in Deir Ez-Zur Governorate over the short term. Heightened security and disruptions to transport and business are likely near the sites of any future attacks.
Heed the instructions of security forces. If an attack alert is issued in the general vicinity, stay indoors and away from windows and exterior walls. If possible, move to a ground floor, basement, or bunker. Maintain contact with your country's diplomatic mission.
