Mine explosion kills child, injures another in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – A child lost his life and another one was injured on Tuesday by an explosion of a landmine left behind ISIS in a town east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.
“A mine left behind by ISIS exploded while children were playing near farmland in al-Ma ‘bar neighborhood in the center of the town,” Ahmed al-Satm, from the town of Darang, 75 km east of Deir e-Zor, told North Press.
The explosion, al-Satm added, injured the two children with shrapnel, and they were taken to Theban Hospital 50 km east of Deir ez-Zor. One child lost his life, while the other one lost his hand and leg.”
The eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor witnesses many similar cases, considering it was the last stronghold of ISIS, and the remnants of the war are widely spread there.
On March 26, a person lost his life in the explosion of a mine left behind by ISIS, when being on his farmland in the town of al-Jala’, in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.
