Further reports suggested that the incident took place near T-3 Pumping Station in the province of Homs where the Syrian Arab Army and Hezbollah had recently repelled a large ISIS advance.
This airstrike was allegedly delivered by an US combat drone, most likely MQ-9 Reaper.
If confirmed, the airstrike could be described as a direct assistance to the ongoing ISIS advance against pro-government forces in central Syria.
