Attacks by Daesh and Syria's former Al Qaeda affiliate kill more than 60 Syrian regime fighters in 48 hours – war monitor
Militants have killed more than 60 Syrian regime fighters in 48 hours, a monitor said Saturday, in some of the deadliest attacks on pro-Damascus forces in recent weeks.
Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said it was "the highest death toll among regime forces since the caliphate was declared defeated" in the eastern village of Baghouz last month. It was the latest death tally in a civil war that has killed more than 370,000 people since starting in 2011 with the brutal repression of anti-government protests.Regime leader Bashar al Assad has managed to claw back around 60 percent of the country with Russian military backing since 2015, but several regions remain beyond the regime's control.
That attack targeted a desert village south of the city of Mayadeen on the Euphrates River, upstream from Baghouz.
