Syria: 11 soldiers killed in weapons depot explosion in Deir ez-Zor; 15+ depots exploded since regime fall

An explosion at a weapons depot in the western countryside of Deir ez-Zor killed 11 soldiers, marking the latest in a series of over 15 depot explosions since the fall of the Assad regime, with 11 occurring in the past year. The incidents involve both official military sites and random collection depots, suggesting either accidental detonation due to unsafe storage or deliberate sabotage. The pattern indicates a persistent security risk in post-conflict Syria, with potential for further casualties and instability.
