Eight injured, including 6 children, in war-remnant blasts across Syria
QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – Eight people, including six children and a woman, were injured on Monday in separate incidents caused by explosions of war remnants in Idlib, Damascus, and Deir ez-Zor.
Local sources in the Idlib countryside told North Press that a woman and her daughter were injured when remnants of war exploded inside a stove in the town of Bidama, western Idlib.
Meanwhile, a local source from the town of Ghariba, north of Deir ez-Zor, said that a landmine, left over from previous fighting—detonated while a child was grazing sheep on the outskirts of the town’s desert.
He added that the child sustained severe injuries from shrapnel and was transferred to hospitals in Hasakah for treatment.
Additionally, another source said that five children from the same family were injured on Sunday evening when a war remnant exploded in the village of al-Danaji in the southern Damascus countryside.
The source told North Press that the explosion occurred while the children were playing in a field near their home, causing metal fragments to scatter and strike them directly.
He noted that the injured children were taken to al-Mowasat National Hospital for treatment, though no details were available about their current conditions.
According to the source, the injured children, all under the age of fourteen, were identified as Khaled Ali al-Sabsabi, Issa Muhammad al-Sabsabi, Nasser Osama al-Sabsabi, Muhammad Musa al-Sabsabi, and Muhammad Bashar al-Sabsabi.
The village has long suffered from a widespread presence of unexploded war remnants, with no significant efforts made to survey or clear the affected land.
