Air strikes in eastern Syria “likely” launched by US forces have killed at least 10 pro-Iran fighters and wounded 30 others, a war monitor has said.

According to AFP, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said “10 pro-Iranian fighters, including three Syrians, were killed and more than 30 were wounded” in at least nine air strikes that were “likely American”.

They targeted military positions in Albu Kamal and its surroundings, in Deir Ezzor province near the border with Iraq, added the Britain-based Observatory, which has a broad network of sources inside war-torn Syria.
