Sources reported that violent explosions were heard, believed to have been caused by more than 10 raids on Iranian militia sites west of Albukamal, with no information on the size of the losses so far.

The Syrian Observatory reported that the explosions hit the Albu Kamal area, which is under the control of Iranian forces and militias loyal to them in the eastern Deir Ezzor countryside, and according to Syrian Observatory sources, the explosions were caused by Missile attacks on the sites and concentrations of these militias in the Sikka area on the outskirts of Albukamal, leading to the killing of 6 militias.
