Two government soldiers wounded in western Daraa

DARAA, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday, unidentified gunmen shot at and wounded two soldiers of the Syrian government forces in the western countryside of Daraa, south Syria.

A local source told North Press that two government soldiers were seriously wounded after being targeted by unknown gunmen in the city of Nawa in the western countryside of Daraa.

The source added that the two men were in a car near the automated bakery in the city center.

“After taking the two soldiers to a hospital, the government forces sent several vehicles loaded with soldiers to the area in order to search for the perpetrators,” the source noted.

Following their deployment, “a number of nearby shop owners were interrogated with the aim of finding the perpetrators.”

The security centers and posts of the government forces have been repeatedly targeted by unknown attackers since the government took control of Daraa in 2018 as part of a Russian-mediated settlement agreement.
