An alleged Coalition airstrike struck al-Tayyana town in the countryside of al-Mayadeen and killed up to five civilians, according to local sources. The action occurred in response to an ISIS attack on an oil well.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that violent clashes between Syrian Democratic Forces and ISIS took place in the vicinity of al-Omar oilfield, killing up to 10 ISIS members while two others were able to flee.
According to Euphrates post, ISIS attacked the oil field on motorcycles, after which the Coalition conducted several airstrikes that killed three civilians in the town of Tayyana near the oil field and wounded others.
Hurrayah News claimed a higher death toll and reported that five civilians were killed, and also said that ‘dozens’ were injured.
In the first of their September 2020 civilian casualty reports, the US-led Coalition assessed reports that they were responsible for civilian harm in this strike as “non-credible”, stating that after a review of all available records it was determined that, more likely than not, civilian casualties did not occur as a result of a Coalition action.
