The United States Central Command (CENTCOM), admitted that 22 of its soldiers were injured, as a helicopter that was carrying them crashed, in the areas where the occupation forces are stationed in northeastern Syria.
“A helicopter mishap in northeastern Syria resulted in injuries of various degrees to 22 US soldiers,” The CENTCOM said in a statement.
“The cause of the incident is under investigation,” according to CENTCOM
Ten of the injured were evacuated from the so-called “central command’s area of operations” to receive treatment in higher care health facilities, the statement said.
The US occupation forces, in collusion with the “QSD” militia, control the majority of the oil fields in the Syrian al-Jazeera region, where they established military bases with the aim of stealing oil and transporting it to their bases in Iraqi territory through illegal crossings.
