AhlulBayt News Agency: A military facility occupied by US occupation forces in Syria’s northeastern Province of Hasakah has come under a rocket attack from nearby areas, as Washington continues to plunder natural resources of the energy-rich regions of the war-ravaged Arab country.
The US military's Central Command, which oversees American troops in West Asia, asserted in a short statement that the 107mm rocket, launched at around 10:12 p.m. local time (19:12 GMT) on Saturday, failed to impact anything inside the Rumalyn Landing Zone.
It added that “Additional rockets were found at the launch site,” further claiming that the projectile did not cause any injuries or damage.
The development came hours after the Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates demanded the immediate withdrawal of US occupation forces from the war-ravaged Arab country.
The Ministry said in a statement that presence of American troops in Syria was illegal, and called for an end to Washington’s support to Kurdish-led militants affiliated with the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which it said served the US interests in Syria.
The statement went on to condemn the looting of Syrian crude oil by US occupation forces, saying that, “The continuation of US despicable policy of stealing Syrian oil across the Syrian-Iraqi border and transporting it to northern Iraq represents piracy and an attempt to return to the outdated colonial era.”
It further said that the US practices run counter to international law and UN charters, demanding the UN Security Council to censure the act.
The Ministry also said Syria reserves the right to get compensation from the United States for the losses it has caused and the oil it plundered.
