Syrian government forces have discovered considerable amounts of munitions, telecommunication equipment as well as US-built mortar shells at a weapons depot of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in the country’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr near the border with Iraq.
Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that Syrian army troopers launched a clean-up operation in Hasrat town, which lies on the western outskirts of Abu Kamal town, on Saturday and uncovered a huge cache of ammunition and explosives.
The report added that the weapons included 120mm mortars, BM-21 Grad rockets, 107mm rockets, 40mm grenades, anti-tank missiles and a combat-net radio transceiver.
An unspecified number of mines and explosive devices were also found, which Daesh Takfiris had planned to use to booby-trap residential buildings.
