10 workers were killed and 2 wounded, in a terrorist attack that targeted 3 buses carrying workers in the Al-Taym oil field in Deir Ezzor, in Syria.

The Syrian Oil Minister, Bassam Tohme, announced, according to the Syrian News Agency, "SANA", that "10 people were killed and 4 others were wounded in a terrorist attack that targeted the shift cars in the Al-Taym oil field," noting that "the bus carrying the workers was hit by a missile."

Last February, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service said that the United States is plundering Syria's natural resources and actively participating in the oil trade, as the monthly production of Syrian oil reaches three million barrels.

The authority's statement read: "The looting of Syrian natural resources by American companies continues, and Washington is still actively involved in the illegal trade in oil produced in the lands of northeastern Syria, as up to three million barrels of oil are extracted every month from the fields in Al-Hasakah governorates, and in Al-Raqqa and Deir Ezzor, about a third of the stolen oil is sold through American mediation.
The statement added: "It has been confirmed that the oil arrives in Iraqi Kurdistan by trucks" guarded by US military personnel.. In addition, the US military unit and employees of private military companies organize a security system for the infrastructure.
