A car bomb blast killed at least 11 people at a Syrian refugee camp near the border with Jordan on Saturday (January 21st), AFP reported.
A family of four -- a father, mother and two children -- were among those killed in the blast on the outskirts of Rukban camp, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
Another four of those killed were fighters from local tribes in eastern Syria that have battled the "Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant" (ISIL), the Observatory said.
The toll could rise further because a number of the injured are in serious condition, the Observatory said.
Jordan's official Petra news agency also reported the blast at the isolated makeshift camp, which houses around 85,000 Syrians according to the UN.
A military source said 14 wounded people had been taken to a clinic in the border area for treatment, adding that no decision had been taken yet on whether they would be transported to Jordanian hospitals.
The source said there were no Jordanian casualties.
Jordan closed its border in June 2016, halting aid deliveries to the camp, after a bombing claimed by ISIL killed seven Jordanian soldiers.
Aid has been delivered to the camp only twice since the border was closed.
