However, no casualties or material damage were reported.

“A missile attack targeted on Saturday Al-Omar oil field, which the US forces take as an illegal base for them in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, no information whether there were any casualties among the occupation forces,” Local sources told Syria’s official SANA news agency's reporter.

Meanwhile, according to the Al Hadath TV channel broadcasting from Dubai, one of the missiles hit the helipad, next to the fuel tank, and as a result, a fire broke out.

The Al Hadath TV channel also reported that a military facility near the al-Omar main oil field was put on alert. Troops at the neighboring US base near the Al-Tabiya gas field were also put on high alert.

The CENTCOM is one of the eleven unified combatant commands of the US Department of Defense. It was founded in 1983, taking over the previous responsibilities of the Rapid Deployment Joint Task Force (RDJTF). In northeast Syria, the CENTCOM aims at continuing to develop and enable the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to defeat Islamic State (ISIS) and requesting the nations repatriate their citizens of ISIS families from Hawl and Roj camps.

On Jan. 4, two rockets hit a military base of the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS in Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria.
