Image Credit source: Representative Photo Terrorists attacked an army bus on a highway in Syria on Sunday, killing at least 13 soldiers. Several officers were also among the dead. Government media gave this information. State news agency ‘Sana’ reported that 18 soldiers were injured in this attack in the Palmyra region of central Syria and the terrorists used a variety of weapons in the attack. So far no one has claimed responsibility for this attack.
Syrian officials have blamed such attacks on militants of the Islamic State group, who have been operating in southern and central Syria, despite losing territorial control in the country since 2019. In January this year, IS militants attacked a bus traveling in the same area with rockets and anti-aircraft guns, killing five soldiers.
Last month in Damascus, there was a bomb blast in a bus carrying soldiers.
Earlier last month, a soldier was killed and 11 were injured after a bomb exploded in a bus carrying soldiers in the Syrian capital Damascus. The bomb was placed in the bus. The blast took place near the capital’s historic Omayyad crossroads at a time of overcrowding. In recent months, such attacks have been taking place in the midst of peace in Damascus. Government security forces snatched the eastern areas of the city from rebels in 2018. Government forces now control much of Syria with the help of Russia and Iran, allies of President Bashar Assad, while rebels are confined to the northwestern province of Idlib.
Earlier in October last year, 14 had been killed in Damascus when two bombs placed on a bus carrying Syrian soldiers went off. It was one of the deadliest bombings in the capital after years. Attacks in Damascus have decreased in recent years. The last major blast occurred in 2017, when suicide bombers targeted a judicial office building and a restaurant. About 60 people were killed in this attack and the responsibility of it was claimed by the terrorists of the Islamic State group.
