(Zaman Al Wasl)- At least 21 troops from coastal Tartus province killed in July as regime forces wage major offensive to recapture northwestern Syria, pro-regime news feeds reported.
Most slain troops were killed in Hama province and scattered attack in eastern Deir Ezzor province.
Since the beginning of northwest Syria offensive late April, regime airstrikes have killed more than 700 civilians and displaced more than 400,000.
Ongoing shelling and airstrikes included the use of indiscriminate weapons, such as barrel bombs.
Rebels and jihadists have killed more than 130,000 pro-regime forces since the armed conflict erupted eight years ago with the brutal repression of protests against Bashar al-Assad, according to local monitoring groups.
The conflict in Syria has also killed more than 560,000 people and displaced 6.5 millions.
