26 Syria regime, 9 Russia fighters killed in IS attack: monitor

At least 26 Syrian regime forces and nine Russian fighters were killed in an Islamic State group attack earlier this week in Syria's eastern desert, a monitor said Sunday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the jihadists had targeted a group of Syrian and allied Russian fighters near the town of Mayadeen in Deir Ezzor province on Wednesday. Some of those Russian nationals were government troops, but not all of them," said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.
