DAMASCUS, Aug 13 (NNN-SANA) – Syria yesterday blamed the United States, for the deadly attack that was carried out by the Daesh against a Syrian military bus, which resulted in the killing of at least 33 soldiers on Friday.
In a statement released last night, the Syrian Foreign Ministry viewed the attack as part of the ongoing American campaign, against Syria’s sovereignty and independence, accusing the United States of supporting the Daesh to destabilise Syria.
The ministry emphasised that, “this aggressive action fits into the broader pattern of American escalation, aimed at undermining Syria’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.”
The ministry further noted the alarming coincidence between the attack and the continuous American exploitation of Syria’s oil and agricultural resources. This economic pressure, according to the statement, contributes to extending the American occupation and destabilising regional security.
Syria remains resolute in its commitment to counter terrorism and eliminate its lingering effects, the statement read.
