At least three individuals have been reported dead in eastern Syria following an explosion, with a war monitoring group suggesting the cause was likely a drone strike on Iran-backed militias. Information about the incident remains limited, with conflicting reports from various sources. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights claimed that four individuals died and eight were injured when the strike targeted a building used as a base for Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard in Deir el-Zour. Meanwhile, Syrian state media suggested the explosion resulted from a mine left behind by terrorists. The area has been the site of previous attacks on Iranian targets, some of which have been attributed to the US or Israel.
