Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says 13 of its military advisers have been killed and 21 others wounded in Syria in recent days, Press TV reported. In a statement on Saturday, the IRGC said the forces were all from Iran's northern province of Mazandaran.
It added that they were killed and injured in the town of Khan Tuman, located in the southwest of the Syrian province of Aleppo. The statement said the identity of the victims would be released later.
On Thursday, the Syrian army troops delivered a major blow to al-Nusra Front terrorists after the latter launched an attack on the government forces in Khan Tuman.
According to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights on Friday, dozens of the Takfiri terrorists as well as government forces lost their lives during the heavy fighting.
