US conducts aerial attacks in Syria, Iraq

The US airstrikes are being carried out in retaliation for the three US soldiers killed in a drone strike on January 28 for which the Iraqi Islamic Resistance group claimed responsibility. More than 40 US soldiers were wounded in the drone attack on the US base Tower 22 located in Jordan.

According to the media reports, the US aerial attacks have focused on the Syrian eastern province of Dair Al Zawr. 

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) has claimed that at least six people have been killed in the US attacks so far while 11 bases were attacked by the US fighter jets.
