Satellite images obtained and analyzed by AP show the aftermath of a suspected missile strike on an oil-loading facility used by Turkey-backed opposition forces in northern Syria.

In this combination made from two satellite images from Planet Labs Inc. shows the before and after, left, March 3, 2021, right, March 6, 2021 , of the aftermath of a fire following a suspected Russian missile strike early Saturday, March 6, 2021, on an oil-loading facility just northwest of the city of Manbij, Syria.

Syrian opposition groups and at least one war monitor blamed Russia for the strike Friday night near the towns of Jarablus and al-Bab, near the border with Turkey. In a report, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, based in Britain, said Russian warships in the Mediterranean had fired three missiles that struck primitive oil refineries and tanker trucks in the region.It said more than 180 trucks and tankers were burned in the massive blaze, and at least four people killed and 24 wounded.

Past satellite photos of the site, some 75 kilometers northeast of the Syrian city of Aleppo, showed hundreds of tanker trucks gathered in the area.
