A strike on a pro-Iran militia convoy in eastern Syria near the border with Iraq killed around 15 people, a war monitor said on Wednesday.
The strike hit a convoy of “fuel tankers and trucks loaded with weapons,” in the the Albu Kamal area of the border, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
An official of the Iraqi border guard said the trucks were transporting fuel from Iran to Lebanon overland through Iraq and Syria.
Al Arabiyah reported the official saying the convoy consisted of 22 tanker trucks, of which 10 were hit after entering Syrian territory through the Al-Qaim - Albu Kamal border crossing.
The Britain-based Observatory also added that at least 14 people were killed in the strike. It said a nearby militia position was also hit.
