Shaam news network monitored the death of four officers of the Assad regime, including a brigadier general and three others with the rank of first lieutenant. The deaths happened in varying circumstances, between a traffic accident in Damascus, a heart attack in Lattakia, and direct targeting in Badia and Idleb.
Media pages loyal to the Assad regime mourned the killing of a colonel named Ahmed Khoder Shahoud. They said that he was killed as a result of a car accident alongside his wife and son. They broadcast a picture of his car on the Homs – Damascus road, near the area of Qara in Damascus countryside.
