7 Syrian soldiers killed in SDF drone attack in Hasakah: SANA

LONDON: The Syrian Ministry of Defense announced that several soldiers were killed and 20 others were injured on Wednesday in the northeastern governorate of Hasakah, near the Iraqi border.
The ministry accused the Syrian Democratic Forces of launching a deadly drone attack on a facility near the Al-Yaarubiyah crossing, according to the SANA news agency.
The Syrian army discovered a facility for manufacturing explosives and drone munitions, which included several Iranian-made drones that the SDF was preparing to stockpile, the ministry said.
During the clearance operation, the facility was hit by a suicide drone from the SDF, killing seven soldiers and wounding 20 others, it added.
This week, Syrian forces began deploying across the Jazira region, which includes Hasakah, Qamishli, Deir Az Zor and Raqqa, to secure it under an agreement between the Syrian Arab Republic and the SDF. The army has launched ongoing operations in Hasakah to arrest Daesh suspects after the SDF released them from a prison in Al-Shaddadi.
