Explosion in south Syria kills 6 soldiers

A blast killed six soldiers in southern Syria yesterday in a rare such deadly attack in the defeated cradle of the eight-year uprising, a war monitor said. “The explosive device was aimed at a convoy transporting members of the Fourth Division” in the southern province of Daraa, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Fifteen others were also wounded in the attack near Yadud village, some seven kilometres (four miles) outside the provincial capital of Daraa city, the Britain-based monitor said.
