On 10 February, a US MQ-9 Reaper drone destroyed a T-72 tank operated by pro-Assad regime forces in eastern Syria's Deir el-Zor district, US military officials said
"Coalition forces shot a T-72 tank near Tebiye on February 10, acting for self-defense," said US Colonel Ryan Dillon, adding that pro-regime forces had fired on US special operation forces and SDF fighters near the same region.
Three crew members of the T-72 were killed when the Reaper hit the tank with precision-guided munition. No US troops nor Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militants were wounded in the incident. The US-led coalition contacted its Russian counterparts via the telephone de-confliction line before striking the tank, coalition spokesperson Col. Ryan Dillon said.
