Landmine explosion in Homs province kills Syrian cameraman
A Syrian cameraman working for the state television has been killed in a blast caused by an explosive device planted by the Takfiri Daesh terrorist group in the central province of Homs.
"Cameraman Mohammed Milad was killed in a rural area in eastern Homs," the official SANA news agency said on Tuesday.
The terrorists, SANA reported, had heavily mined the area in an attempt to slow the advance of Syrian forces.
The violence-hit area is still witnessing battles between terrorists and Syrian forces.
