Several explosions had already been reported this month in Syria, which endured thirteen years of civil war that ended with the fall of Bashar al-Assad in December 2024.
On Friday, 11 people were killed in an explosion of as yet undetermined cause at a military facility in Deir ez-Zor, according to the de facto authorities.
On September 9, an explosion at a Ministry of Defense weapons depot killed 14 people and injured 11 others in the province of Idlib, in the northwestern part of the country.
In the same region, ten days earlier, an explosion in a vehicle loaded with ammunition had claimed the lives of five people.
