On 26 September, Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) attributed to political analyst Imad al-Musafir the statement that factions lack air defences but possess means that threaten the U.S. presence in the region. The caption reports his assertion of capability, not an announced operation or a statement by a named faction.

a statement by a named faction identifying a means or action, and a subsequent operational claim, by 29 September; either would move this file.
