Syrian forces suffer 14 fatalities in countryside clashes

Transitional administration said 10 police members also wounded by ‘remnants’ of Assad regime in Tartous

Fourteen security personnel from Syria’s new authorities and three armed men were killed in clashes in Tartous province when forces sought to arrest an officer linked to the notorious Sednaya prison, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.

The Observatory said the clash broke out in Tartous, a stronghold of ousted president, Bashar al-Assad’s Alawite minority, and was sparked by the attempted arrest of the former Sednaya prison official.
