An air strike near a US base in southeastern Syria has killed at least eight pro-government fighters, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported Monday.
Four Syrians, one Iranian national and three other non-Syrian fighters were among the casualties of the strike carried out on Saturday, the war monitor said.
“A convoy of Iranian forces and allied militia was hit by air strikes as it drove near Al-Tanf base,” the head of the monitoring group Rami Abdel Rahman said. He said he could not confirm the strike had been conducted by the US-led coalition present in the region.
The coalition did not immediately reply to an AFP query.
