Mysterious circumstances | Dr-ug user sh-ot de-ad inside his house in northern countryside of Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor province: A civilian was shot dead, in mysterious circumstances, inside his house in Khasham town which is controlled by regime forces and Iranian militias affiliated to them in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor, without knowing the identity of the perpetrators. It is noted that the killed person was a drug user.
Areas under the control of regime forces and Iranian militias are witnessing a wide proliferation of drug users and dealers among the popular communities, in light of the absence of the role of the security services to combat them.
