Two children injured in a mine explosion inRaqqa countryside


TABQA, Syria (North Press) – Two children were injured on Saturday in a landmine explosion in the village of al-Hawra, 20 km south of Tabqa city, north Syria.

Residents of the village suggested that the mine was a remnant of ISIS that had been planted earlier.

“The mine exploded in the two children, Ahmed Mustafa Aboud al-Hassan and Ali Ahmed Aboud al-Hassan, eight years old, while grazing sheep next to the village near the southern Tabqa city crossing,” Hassan al-Awwad, a resident of the village of al-Hawra and a relative of the two children, said.

The areas where ISIS was expelled from by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) often witness explosions of mines planted by ISIS prior to its withdrawal.

Such incidents occasionally happen to shepherds in the Badia, and a number of demining organizations, in cooperation with SDF teams, removed a large number of them in the area, as well as some remote areas in the Badia south of the unpopulated city of Tabqa.
