Syria: Friday blast at military site left 11 dead
\n—————————-
\nSyrian authorities on Saturday announced an explosion of unknown origin killed 11 people at a military site in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor the previous day, Arab News Reported.<\/p>\n
The ministry had reported on Friday an explosion at an army site in Deir Ezzor, saying it was under investigation.<\/p>\n
Firefighters and rescuers headed to the scene of the explosion, state media reported at the time, without immediately providing any casualty figures.<\/p>\n
Several such blasts have previously occurred at arms depots in Syria, which is emerging from more than a decade of civil war following the toppling of longtime ruler Bashar Assad in late 2024.<\/p>\n
Earlier this month, an explosion at an arms depot in the northwest killed 14 people.<\/p>\n
Previously, also in the northwest, a car loaded with ammunition had killed at least five people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
