Landmine explosion | Two NDF members killed in Al-Shawla desert

Syrian Observatory activists have documented the death of two members of the regime-backed “National Defence Forces” (NDF) in the explosion of an old landmine planted earlier by ISIS in Al-Shawla desert in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.

On January 8, SOHR activists documented the death of a commander of the Russian-backed Palestinian “Al-Quds Brigade” and the injury of three other members escorting him, as an IED exploded in their car in the area of Kabajib in the western desert of Deir Ezzor province. This explosion coincided with the escalating activities by ISIS cells in the Syrian desert.
