Syria: 15 soldiers dead in attack of Daesh on military bus
State news agency SANA had reported 13 dead “including officers” and 18 wounded.
Daesh cells “attacked a military bus” in the Palmyra desert, “killing 15 soldiers and wounding 18 others”, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The death toll could rise as most of the soldiers were “seriously wounded”, said the Observatory, which relies on a network of sources across the country.
Daesh did not immediately claim responsibility for the attack.
