Syrian state television reported on Sunday (5) that several explosions were heard inside a US base in the Al-Tanf region, near the Iraqi border.
The information was denied, however, by a commander of the US-backed rebel group Maghawir al-Thawra, whose hundreds of fighters work with US troops at the Tanf base. Maghawir al-Thawra said the blasts were part of joint air and ground exercises started earlier this week and did not come from within the base.
The garrison is located in a strategic area near the Syrian-Iraq border, in the Tanf region, at the intersection of a major highway linking Baghdad to Damascus, the main land-based arms supply route from Tehran to Syria and the powerful Hezbollah militia from Lebanon.
