BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:30 P.M.) – Several Russian military personnel were allegedly killed in eastern Syria this past week after the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS) carried out another deadly attack.

According to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), at least eleven Russian military personnel were killed by improvised explosive devices (IED) planted by the Islamic State terrorist organization.

The IEDs were allegedly placed in the Panorama area, which is located in the western outskirts of Deir Ezzor city.

While the Russian military has yet to comment on these claims, a Syrian Arab Army source said that several explosions were heard near the provincial cemetery over the last few days.

Western Deir Ezzor was often the site of many ambushes carried out by the Islamic State because it has an isolated road that is surrounded by desert.
