MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The US military has illegally transported 89 oil tanks from Syria to Iraq, the Syrian state news agency SANA reports citing sources.
A convoy of 89 oil tanks has left from the town of Al-Yaarubiyah in Al-Hasakah Governorate, in northeastern Syria, using the Al-Mahmudiyah illegal border crossing to get to Iraq, SANA said on Saturday.
At the end of July, SANA reported that a US base in the province of Al-Hasakah was shelled.
US armed forces are controlling territories in northern and northeastern Syria in the provinces of Deir ez-Zor, Al-Hasakah and Raqqa, where Syria's largest oil and gas deposits are located. Damascus has repeatedly called the presence of US troops on its territory an occupation and state piracy for the purpose of blatant oil heist.
