US shoots down Iranian-made drone over north Syria
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – The US military announced on Wednesday that it had shot down an Iranian drone hovering over the Conoco oil field in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor in northern Syria, where an American military base is located.
“US forces in Syria engaged and shot down an Iranian-manufactured UAV attempting to conduct reconnaissance of Mission Support Site Conoco,” US Central Command (CENTCOM) tweeted.
The US forces were able to finish the Iranian drone without further details, and the American army has not reported any response against the Iranian-backed militants deployed west of the Euphrates River in Deir ez-Zor held by the Syrian government forces.
