SULAIMANI (ESTA) — Five Syrian soldiers were killed in a rocket attack by Islamic State (ISIS) militants in the east of the country, Syrian state media reported on Monday.
The state media said ISIS militants carried out a rocket attack on a military transport bus in eastern Syrian at approximately 7 p.m. local time.
Twenty other soldiers were wounded in the attack, it reported.
Islamic State, which declared a caliphate straddling parts of Syria and Iraq in 2014, has lost all territory that was under its control in 2019.
However, the group continues to wage a low-level insurgency in both countries.
