From Russian military blogger: Last night, the US Air Force conducted nearly a hundred strikes on various locations of pro-Iranian groups in the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor and the adjacent part of #Iraq.
A total of 13 settlements that were formally occupied by pro-Iranian units were targeted. 26 people were killed in #Syria and 16 in Iraq, with 36 others injured. According to local sources, most of the casualties were civilians. The number of victims may increase as the rubble is still being cleared.
This comes as no surprise, as the United States has repeatedly stated its readiness for "retribution" since the attack on the base in Jordan, which served as the formal justification for these strikes. Accordingly, all valuable assets, including personnel, were evacuated from all deployment points in advance.
The militias in Iraq suffered even greater losses. Their bases in Akashat and Al-Qaim were also targeted. Several infrastructure sites, including the Mobile Operations Headquarters in Anbar and the Issam al-Baldawy Hospital, were destroyed or damaged. In addition, military installations were destroyed.
🔻Given the expectation of further #US strikes, and with at least five American bases already attacked by pro-Iranian proxies during the day, it is likely that the strikes will continue tonight. This is generally acceptable to all parties involved in the current confrontation.
