According to its information, an earlier missile strike was launched against a military base near the Al-Omar oil field. There was no information about the consequences of the two attacks and possible casualties.
The attack was a response to the American air strikes that the US had done late Thursday.
The channel reported that US Air Force helicopters were up in the skies, patrolling the area in search of the attackers.
On Thursday night, the US Air Force attacked pro-Iranian forces' positions in Abu Kamal on the border with Iraq, as well as their camp in Mayadin and weapons storage facility near Harabish by Deir Ez-Zor. The series of strikes were conducted in retaliation to an Iranian drone attack on a helipad at the US base in Rumaila, which killed one US serviceman and injured five others, along with another worker.
The U.S. has established nine military bases in the northeast of the country, Four of them are near the oil fields in Deir Ez-Zor, and five more are in the neighboring province of Al-Hasakah. Several hundred US servicemen are assisting the Syrian Democratic Forces in the fight against the Islamic State terrorist gangs who are known for their brutal activities there.
