At least two Syrian Army servicemen were injured after the US-led international coalition conducted an airstrike on a Syrian Armed Forces artillery mount in the country’s northeast.

“US coalition aircraft launched an aggression this evening against one of the Syrian Arab army formations operating in the Albukamal area in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor,” state news agency SANA cited the source as saying early on Sunday.

“At around 23:30 local time [Saturday, 21:30 Saturday GMT] the aircraft of the international coalition conducted an airstrike on the artillery mount of our forces operating in As Sukkariya region to the west of Abu Kamal… As a result of the airstrike, the mount was destroyed and two servicemen were injured,” a Syrian military source told Sputnik.

ISIL terrorists attacked the Syrian Army positions shortly after a coalition airstrike in north-eastern Deir Ezzor province on Saturday, SANA reported.

According to SANA, most of the terrorists who launched the attack were fleeing the village of Baguz, which was destroyed by the Syrian Army.
