BEIRUT (Reuters) – The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces said on Tuesday they had thwarted a drone attack on Al Omar oilfield in eastern Syria.
Initial reports showed no damage as a result of the attack on the U.S.-protected oilfield in the Deir al-Zour area, close to where U.S. troops are stationed, they said.
