A US air strike has destroyed more than 238 fuel trucks controlled
by Islamic State (IS) militants in north-east Syria, the US military
has said.
It is thought the pilots found the trucks parked up together,
waiting to be loaded at an oil production point near Hassakeh and
Deir al-Zour.
Warning shots were reportedly fired to scare away the civilian
drivers, before the destruction of the trucks began.
IS makes large amounts of money from oil it produces from seized
facilities.
