News - Middle East: A US base in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr has reportedly come under an attack by explosive-laden drones, the latest in a series of strikes on American forces in the Arab country.

Lebanon’s Arabic-language al-Mayadeen television news network, citing local sources speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that three drones targeted US forces based at the al-Omar oil field on Thursday evening.
The sources added that massive explosions were heard at the US-run facility as the unmanned aerial vehicles flew overhead.
The US military scrambled helicopters in response to the attack. There were no immediate reports about possible casualties or the extent of damage at the installation.
