Several Syrian soldiers martyred and wounded in bus ambush in west Daraa

According to reports from the Daraa Governorate, the bus was attacked while traveling along a road in the western countryside of the Daraa Governorate.

The attack reportedly took place near the town of Al-Yadoudah, which is located near the administrative capital of the Daraa Governorate.

The total number of dead and wounded has not been confirmed as of yet; however, local reports say that several wounded were transferred to a local military hospital for treatment.

No group has claimed responsibility for this latest attack.

This ambush also comes at a time of increased tension in southern Syria, especially in the Daraa Governorate, where the government and reconciled rebels have traded accusations of violating the 2018 ceasefire agreement.

A large portion of the Daraa Governorate was long under the control of the Free Syrian Army’s (FSA) Southern Front units, before a ceasefire was brokered by the Russian Reconciliation Center in the Summer of 2018 to end the fighting.
