Syrian Minister of Oil and Mineral Resources Bassam Tohme announced that at least 10 people were killed and two were injured in a terrorist attack that targeted three vehicles transporting workers near an oil field in Syria’s Deir Ezzor province.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Tohme accused “the US occupation and its elements and terrorist groups” of carrying out the attack to aggravate the suffering of the Syrian people who are facing an oil crisis."

“This brazen terrorist attack on cars disrupted the shifts of workers in Al-Taym oil field of Al Furat Petroleum Company,” he added.

Simultaneously, sources affirmed to Al Mayadeen that the attack was carried out by ISIS members.

According to the sources, ISIS attacked the cars using explosive devices and machine guns,  killing 10 workers and injuring four others. The same sources also noted that some victims were scorched as a result of flaming cars.

Earlier, the Syrian state news agency SANA reported that an attack in eastern Syria killed 10 oil field workers.

The number of martyrs in the oil industry reached 235, with 26 injured and 112 kidnapped since the start of the war on Syria.

It is worth noting that ISIS cells are active in many countryside areas that the Syrian army and its allies have regained control over, amid ongoing sweeping operations in the area.

The Syrian government has repeatedly accused the United States of transferring terrorists from prisons located in the SDF-controlled areas toward the Syrian Desert to revive the organization and undermine security and stability in the areas under the Syrian army's control.

Besides being an occupation force that backs armed groups for its own operations and agenda in the region, the US occupation forces continue to steal Syrian oil by smuggling it from their bases in Syria to their bases in Iraq.

Convoys of tens of vehicles, including tankers loaded with stolen oil from oil fields occupied by US forces in Syria, are frequently seen crossing toward northern Iraq, in addition to trucks loaded with military equipment.

The Syrian Oil Ministry has recently revealed that the US occupation loots the majority of Syria's oil, knowing that the daily production of the eastern oil fields is 80.3 thousand barrels.

US; a bandit in Syria

On August 15, SANA said the US smuggled dozens of tankers loaded with stolen Syrian oil through the illegal Al-Mahmudiyah border crossing.

"Over the past hours, the US occupation forces brought out a convoy of 100 tankers filled with Syrian oil from Al-Hasaka countryside to its bases in the Iraqi lands through the crossing," local sources from Al-Yaarubiyah countryside told SANA.

On August 14, SANA reported, citing sources, that the US occupation forces in Syria looted 89 oil tankers from Syria and smuggled them into Iraq through illegal crossings.

A convoy of 89 oil tanks left from Al-Yaarubiyah, Al-Hasakah Governorate, using the illegal border crossing of Al-Mahmudiyah in northeastern Syria to get to Iraq, SANA reported.

On August 9, the Syrian Oil Ministry revealed that the US occupation loots the majority of Syria's oil, knowing that the daily production of the eastern oil fields is 80.3 thousand barrels.

The US meddling in the crisis-stricken Middle Eastern country continues to be exposed, from occupation to military agenda and the theft of oil.
