DAMASCUS, Feb. 3 (Xinhua) -- The U.S.-led coalition targeted a Syrian artillery in eastern Syria overnight Saturday, wounding two soldiers, the Syrian state TV reported.

U.S.-led warplanes struck the Syrian artillery west of the al-Bukamal city in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour, leading to its destruction, according to the report.

It is not the first time the United States has targeted Syrian military posts in Syria.

In December, the U.S.-led coalition fired several missiles on military sites in central Syria, causing damage.

In June, U.S.-led airstrikes targeted a Syrian military position in Deir al-Zour, causing casualties.

In May, U.S. strikes on Syrian positions in Deir al-Zour killed 12 pro-government fighters.

The Syrian government has repeatedly condemned the U.S.-led attacks and urged the United Nations Security Council to put an end to such violations by the U.S.-led coalition in Syria.
