[JPost] Arabic-language media reported that 25 Iran-backed militants were killed and 10 others were wounded.

Unidentified aircraft targeted sites belonging to Iranian militias along the border between Iraq and Syria on Tuesday night, according to Arabic-language media.

The strikes were first reported by the Iraqi Sabareen news channel which is affiliated with militias backed by Iran. The channel blamed the US for carrying out the strikes near the Al-Qaim border crossing and claimed that 25 people were killed.

Sabareen and additional news sites reported that fuel tankers carrying Iranian gasoline for Lebanon were hit.

The Sada AlSharqieh news site also reported that 25 Iran-backed militants were killed and 10 others were wounded.

The local Deir Ezzor 24 news site reported that unidentified aircraft targeted a site belonging to Iranian militias near Al-Bukamal in the Deir Ezzor region of eastern Syria.
