Over the past year, alone in Eastern Ghouta, about hundreds of tons of ammunition were destroyed, said the commander of the CAA engineering group in Eastern Gute, Mayas Mahmoud Ace.
“We carry out demining of cities and towns in the area, collect the left shells in one place away from settlements for the safety of civilians, and then undermine them,” he said.
Engaged in the identification of caches and detachments of the Russian military police, which later transfer the contents of the soldiers of the CAA. “We patrolled the western part of the Duma when a civilian approached and reported that he had found an IED in the basement,” the military police officer said.
Earlier, an entire workshop for the manufacture of explosive devices was found in the Duma. As the commander of the Syrian army said, they are a piece of an iron pipe with an explosive pressed inside. The CAA noted that during the conflict, terrorists learned how to make anti-tank shells. In the Duma, however, a warehouse of medical equipment was found, which was stolen earlier by terrorists from local hospitals.
