(ISIS) carried out a suicide kaboom in Syria’s eastern province of Deir ez-Zor, killing a member of the state security forces, state media reported late on Friday.
The attack targeted a checkpoint in Mayadin city, according to Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA).
Mayadin is located within areas of Deir ez-Zor controlled by Damascus. The oil-rich part of the province is under the control of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Deir ez-Zor is a hotspot for ISIS attacks. The bully boy group often targets SDF in the province. The Kurdish-led force, with the support of the US-led global coalition against ISIS, has carried out numerous operations against the group there.
Kurdish internal security forces (Asayish), which is part of the SDF, on Friday announced the arrest of an ISIS leader in Hasaka city. He was accused of intimidating civilians, robbery and targeting security forces.
