IED blast kills, wounds government soldiers in Syrian desert
|
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – Two soldiers of the Syrian government forces were killed and two others were wounded on Saturday as an IED exploded in their vehicle in the eastern countryside of Homs, central Syria.
“An IED exploded in a military vehicle that was driving some soldiers of the 11th Infantry Division near the 55-km de-confliction zone, which is adjacent to the US-led Global Coalition’s al-Tanf US military base,” a military source of the Fourth Armored Division said.
The soldiers were combing the border areas with the coalition’s base in the Syrian desert at the time of the explosion.
The dead soldiers, who were a staff sergeant and a petty officer, were sitting in the first row while the injured soldiers, who had shrapnel, were in the back, the source added.
The Syrian desert and the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor constitute source of concern for the Iranian-backed militias and the government forces. Sleeper cells of the Islamic State Organization (ISIS) occasionally carry out operations against them causing multiple losses despite heavy security campaigns and combing operation.
On March 16, two Syrian government soldiers were killed in an IED explosion that targeted their car in al-Asharah town, 55 kilometers east of Deir ez-Zor.
