Residents, as informed by Sham FM national radio station, said that at least three powerful explosions were heard in Albukamal municipality on the Iraqi border and others hit areas east of Deir Ezzor city, the provincial capital. They indicated that the Izaa bridge over the Euphrates river linking Deir Ezzor with the town of Jafra was destroyed as a result of the aggression, which also targeted points in the vicinity of the airport. Several media reported the death of nine Syrians and at least 18 members of the Iraqi militias deployed in the area as a result of the bombing.

Hours before the aggression, an intense bombardment with kamikaze shells and drones was reported against the Pentagon base established in the Koniko gas field facilities, in the north of the province of Deir Ezzor.
