18 Syrian Army Personnel Killed in Terrorist Bomb Attack Near Capital Damascus
News - Middle East: At least 18 Syrian government soldiers have been killed and more than two dozen others injured in a terrorist bomb attack near the capital Damascus.
The deadly attack occurred on Thursday, when an explosive device attached to a military bus in Damascus countryside went off, killing 18 soldiers and wounding 27 others, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported.
“A military bus in Damascus countryside was targeted this morning by a terrorist detonation with an explosive device that was planted in advance,” SANA said, citing a military source.
The terrorist attack is considered to be one of the deadliest ones in months against Syrian government troops not on an active front line.
Attacks in particular have been on the rise, including in the Damascus countryside.
There were no immediate claims of responsibility for the attack, but such assaults bear the hallmark of Takfiri terror factions, particularly the Daesh terrorist group, which was defeated in the Arab country but its remnants launch sporadic attacks against civilians and government troops.
