Around 250 Syrian civilians are feared kidnapped after an attack by Daesh on a cement factory east of Damascus, residents told AFP on Thursday.

"We haven't been able to reach our family members since noon on Monday after an attack by Daesh on the factory," said a resident of the town of Dmeir, 50 kilometres east of Damascus.

"We have no information about where they are," the resident added.

An administrator at the plant said 250 employees had been unreachable since Monday.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said "dozens" of staff were believed to have been seized by Daesh from the cement factory and taken to an unknown location.

The Badiyah cement factory lies outside Dmeir, which has seen fierce fighting in recent days as govement forces have shelled Daesh positions inside the town.

The Observatory said 18 civilians were killed in govement shelling of the town.

A Syrian security source told AFP that Daesh fighters had also tried to seize the nearby Dmeir airbase and power plant from the govement but had failed.
