About 30 people have been killed in airstrikes by US-led coalition targeting a Syrian oil refinery held by Daesh.
According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, the air raids that were carried late Sunday night hit the refinery near the Turkish-Syrian border outside the town of Tel Abyad.
The UK-based group added that the dead included refinery workers and Daesh militants.
Syrian activists also posted a video that purportedly shows the strikes, depicting a huge fireball.
Since late September 2014, the US and some of its Arab allies have been conducting airstrikes against Daesh inside Syria without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate.
The US-led coalition’s airstrikes have also hit Syrian infrastructure. The coalition has also attacked the provinces where the Daesh militants are not active.
The Daesh terror group currently controls parts of Iraq and Syria.
Last November the UN said the extremist militants made between USD 846,000 and USD 1.6 million a day from selling oil.
