One civilian has been killed and ten others injured in a Daesh* landmine explosion in al-Shoula, Deir Ez-Zor, according to SANA.

A similar explosion claimed the lives of 24 people last Sunday in the province of Hama, when a passenger bus exploded after driving on a mine.

On 21 February, five people were killed and dozens left injured after a car bomb explosion in Deir ez-Zor Province.

Meanwhile, the Syrian military is continuing to fight the last remaining terrorist groups operating in the country's Hama and Idlib provinces.

Earlier, it was reported that the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were clearing the village of Baghuz, which was from their point of view the last settlement in Syria controlled by the Daesh terror group.
