DAMASCUS, Sept 21 (NNN-SANA) – Five pro-government fighters were killed in a blast, in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour in Syria, a war monitor reported.

The five fighters were killed by a landmine explosion, that targeted their vehicle a day earlier, in a desert region in the western countryside of Deir al-Zour, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The observatory said, it is highly believed that the blast was the work of the Daesh group, which has been active in the desert region and has intensified attacks on Syrian soldiers and pro-government fighters since Mar.
