ISTANBUL (AA) – At least eight people were killed and dozens injured in US airstrikes in Deir ez-Zor province in eastern Syria on Tuesday, according to the state news agency SANA.

The airstrikes targeted several towns and military sites in the province, SANA said, citing a military source.

The fatalities included seven soldiers and a civilian, while 31 people were injured, including 19 soldiers, the source said.

There was no immediate US comment on the report.

Syria has been locked in a vicious civil war since early 2011 when the Bashar al-Assad regime cracked down on pro-democracy protests with unexpected ferocity.
