Damascus: Al Arabiya reported on Sunday that drones attacked a truck convoy at the Al-Kam crossing on the Syria-Iraq border, citing "opposition activists and a pro-government radio station". According to reports, Iranian fighters are in charge of the crossing.

Al Arabiya reported that 25 vehicles had already crossed the border before the attack. According to Syria's Sham FM and other local media, six refrigerator trucks were targeted.

However, according to TV station Al-Mayadeen, "three Iranian aid trucks carrying flour and rice were targeted." The media outlet stated that there were "no weapons" in the convoy. It was not immediately known who was behind the strike.

There have been conflicting reports about whether anyone was hurt when the drone allegedly fired a warning shot to allow truckers to drop off their cargo. While the Times of Israel claimed that there were no reports of injuries, the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that ambulances arrived at the scene to treat the injured.

Confirming the airstrike, a representative of an "Iran-backed militia" in Baghdad claimed that only a truck had been targeted and made no mention of casualties.
