(Zaman Al Wasl)- Two US-backed fighters and a displaced child were killed by an improvised explosive device in eastern Deir Ezzor province, local activists said Saturday.
The IED targeted a military vehicle for the Syrian Democratic Froces (SDF) in the town of Sweidan east of Deir Ezzor city.
The YPG-led forces say Daesh sleeper cells are still active in Deir Ezzor, claiming that tens of families are still receiving salaries from the ultra-hardline Sunni militant group.
On Tuesday, the YPG-led forces stormed the town of al-Baghouz in Albukamal region and detained nine people whom mostly cattle dealers.
Kurdish news accounts claimed that the detained people had links with the Islamic State.
Daesh has been largely defeated in the country but has continued to carry out ambushes, assassinations and bombings there and still poses a threat along its border with Syria.
Last week, Daesh killed 19 regime troops in a desert town near Palmyra city.
