Direct Translation via Google Translate Edited. [ColonelCassad] According to Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin, an American strike drone destroyed a truck carrying food in Deir ez-Zor in Syria. The food was intended for Iranian PMC units based in Abu Kemal. It is unclear in Rozhin's writing who originally reported the attack. Regum reports that the Syrian New Agency SANA originally reported the attack. Said SANA: Deir Ezzor, SANA- A drone for US occupation troops targeted a truck loaded with foodstuffs on the road leading to al-Swiaiyah village in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor province. Says Rozhin: After a series of shelling of American facilities in Syria and Iraq and the destruction of vehicles from logistics convoys, the United States finally decided to brutally respond to the active actions of insolent Iranian proxies, which have completely ceased to respect the hegemon.
The attack came amid increasing tensions in the region between the U.S. military and Iran-backed Iraqi militias in recent weeks. The Americans have targeted Lions of Islam who used drones and rockets to hit bases housing U.S. troops. The Iraqi militia officials refused to say what the truck was carrying. They said the U.S. drone first fired a warning shot, after which the driver jumped out, and a missile hit the vehicle shortly afterward. They said the truck belonged to Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada, which is active along the Iraq-Syria border. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media. There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military. Syrian state TV reported the attack saying it was carried out by American drones. It said the truck was carrying food and there were no human losses. The Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an opposition war monitor, said the truck was carrying weapons and ammunition for an Iraqi militia and was hit shortly after crossing the border from Iraq. It claimed that the driver was killed. | |
