3 killed by roadside bomb in Syria’s Daraa province

DAMASCUS: Three people were killed on Wednesday when an explosive device was detonated along a road in Mahja, a town in Syria’s southern Daraa province, according to a statement from the Daraa Police Command.

The bomb, planted by unidentified individuals, exploded beside a secondary road, the police said.

Authorities have launched an investigation, and no group has yet to claim responsibility for the attack.

Despite a 2018 reconciliation agreement that restored government control, Daraa province, located with the Jordanian border, continues to experience intermittent violence.
