Another drone attack took place at a facility belonging to the US-led Western coalition in the Syrian border city of Al-Tanf.
The sources also said that Shia armed units from the Islamic Resistance in Iraq movement had shelled a base north of the city of Erbil in Iraqi Kurdistan.
There is no information as to who may be behind the attacks and no details have been provided about their consequences.
Pentagon Press Secretary Patrick Ryder said on October 31 that a total of 27 attacks on US bases in the region had taken place since October 17, including 16 in Iraq and 11 in Syria. Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, in turn, demanded an end to attacks on the US forces deployed to the Middle East, which, according to him, were supported by Iran. Austin said that 21 troops had suffered minor wounds in the attacks.
