An explosion at a military site in eastern Syria’s Deir ez-Zor province killed 11 soldiers on Sept. 18, the Defense Ministry said.
The blast occurred at an army position in the Ayash area, west of Deir ez-Zor city, according to state news agency SANA.
The ministry said authorities were investigating the cause of the explosion, which had not been announced.
Earlier this month, an explosion at a weapons depot near Sarmada in northwestern Idlib province killed at least 14 people. That blast occurred on Sept. 9, according to Syrian state media.
