Eastern Syria: Blast hits minibus carrying oil workers, killing 10

At least 10 people were killed and a number were wounded on Thursday when a bomb blast hit a minibus carrying workers employed in a major oil installation in eastern Syria run by a U.S.-backed Kurdish group, residents of the area told Reuters.

The incident took place near the town of Al-Shahil in the southeast of oil-rich Deir al-Zor province that borders Iraq, in an area under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) that are backed by Washington.
