Syrian state media reported that the US-led coalition struck Syrian army positions in eastern Syria early on Thursday.
“Some of our military sites between Albu Kamal and Humeima were exposed at dawn today to aggression launched by US coalition jets,” state news agency SANA reported, citing a military source.
A military media unit run by Hezbollah said the strikes were near T2, an energy installation near the border with Iraq about 100 km (60 miles) west of the Euphrates.
A US military official denied any knowledge of the strikes. “We have no operational reporting of a US-led coalition strike against pro-Syrian regime targets or forces,” said a spokesman for US Central Command told Reuters. Another Pentagon spokesman said: “We have no information to substantiate those reports.”
