DAMASCUS, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- A man and his daughter sustained injuries on Saturday when a booby-trapped motorcycle exploded in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour, a war monitor reported.
The motorcycle went off in the town of Hajin in the countryside of Deir al-Zour, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The UK-based watchdog group said the town is controlled by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
Hajin came under the occupation of the Islamic State (IS) in 2014. In late November 2017, Hajin became IS' de facto capital after they lost key other areas in Syria and Iraq.
On December 28, 2017, the SDF reached Hajin and began a campaign to remove IS. Hajin was captured by the SDF in December 2018. Enditem
