Extremist fighters killed nine Syrian soldiers and allied militiamen in an ambush near oil installations in eastern Syria, AFP reported on Monday. “Nine army soldiers and allied militia fighters were killed in an ambush” by ISIS near oil wells, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
The attack was carried out late Sunday in a remote region on the edge of the eastern province of Deir Ezzor where extremist units have their hideouts, the monitor said.
The rocket attack on a convoy also left 15 pro-government fighters wounded, the UK-based organization said. The Syrian state news agency SANA reported five dead in an ISIS ambush on a military convoy.
The extremist organisation, which once reigned over a sprawling proto-state straddling swathes of Iraq and Syria, lost its last fixed positions in March 2019 but its remnants have kept up deadly guerrilla-style attacks.
