Drone strike reported on pro-Iran militia weapons shipment on Iraq-Syria border
Unidentified drones have targeted a weapons shipment making its way from Iraq to Syria near an illegal military crossing used by pro-Iranian militias, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says, citing unnamed sources.
The UK-based organization, which has had its credibility questioned in the past, says the rare daylight incident happened near Albu Kamal in the eastern Deir Ezzer province.
The report says the vehicle was loaded with weapons and ammunition, adding that there is no information on casualties and the extent of the damage.
