ISIL munitions explode in Deir Ez-Zor: 15 houses razed, dozens killed

MOSCOW, May 11 (MNA) – A series of blasts that occurred in a house that Daesh militants used to store their munitions, has resulted in deaths of dozens of people and a complete destruction of some 15 facilities in Syria's Deir Ez-Zor.

A series of blasts in a house used by terrorists to store munitions in the eastern Syrian province of Deir Ez-Zor killed at least 20 people on Wednesday, media reported.

Three explosions were heard in the area controlled by ISIL terror group, according to the Chinese news agency Xinhua.

The blasts reportedly razed 15 nearby houses and destroyed several vehicles.

The province has a large ISIL presence. Its capital city of Deir Ez-Zor, held by the Syrian government, has been under Islamist siege since 2014. It is receiving UN aid through airdrops carried out daily by Russian warplanes.
