Daesh suicide attack on eastern Syria leaves 20 dead, injures 30

“A car bomb was detonated by Daesh terrorists in the area between al-Jafra and al-Koniko in Deir Ezzor’s northern countryside, claiming the lives of 20 civilians at least and injuring around 30 others, many of whom women and children, according to SANA report on Friday.

“This is the second such an attack this month, as on November 4th Daesh carried out a similar car bomb attack targeting displaced people in the same area, killing and injuring dozens.”

Syrian Army and the resistance forces broke the siege of Deir ez-Zor on September 5.

The oil-rich city has been under the control of Daesh since July 14, 2014 and the humanitarian aid was only air dropped.

Deir ez-Zor Province lies in eastern Syria, on the border with Iraq.
