Earlier, a military bus carrying members of the Transitional Government Forces was targeted by an improvised explosive device planted by unidentified assailants on the main road between Deir ez-Zor and Mayadin, near the village of Saalu in eastern Deir ez-Zor countryside.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights suggested that the perpetrators may belong to cells of ISIS mercenaries, noting that the number of casualties could rise further due to several critical injuries.
