DAMASCUS, 6 March, 2021 (TON): In order to counter militias attacking, new U.S. defense systems have been started to deploy in its bases in northern and eastern Syria, a war monitor reported.

Anti-drone air defense systems and surface-to-surface missiles were being deployed in the al-Omar oil field located in Deir al-Zour province, a  UK based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Friday.  

Reports added that the States is coming up with new equipment from its bases in Kurdish areas in Iraq, and more defense systems will be added.

The advancement came days after when around 20 fighters killed as a result of U.S. launched airstrike in retaliation on the positions of militias in eastern Syria.  

However, the government of Syria has asserted U.S.’s presence in the region as illegal and has urged the UN-SC to take its troops out of the war-torn country.
