The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) war monitor reported that several explosions near the Al-Omar oilfield base of the International Coalition east of Deir al-Zor were the result of the “live-fire exercises conducted by International Coalition Forces, accompanied by Syrian Democratic Forces, amid flights by fighter jets over the region.”
“Integrating and unifying our efforts with our #SDF partners is critical to our collective success in the anti-Daesh mission (ISIS),” the official account of the International Coalition for Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) tweeted.
