| 2022-06-01 |
The internal Security Forces of North and East Syria (Asayish) demined Monday a landmine, engraved with “the State’s Caliphate” in a reference to the Islamic State Organization (ISIS), in a town located northwest of Raqqa, a city in northern Syria. On their official website, the Asayish said that combat engineers units had demined a 5 kg landmine left by ISIS. Between January 2014 and October 2017, ISIS controlled the city of Raqqa and its countryside naming Raqqa the capital of the Caliphate. After fierce battles between ISIS and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Raqqa was liberated in October 2017, but following their defeat, ISIS has left behind too many Explosive Remnants of War (ERW). Since the beginning of 2021, combat engineers have defused 79 land mines, 87 shells, 365 grenades, 12 explosive belts, and 25 missiles, all were remnants left by ISIS, according to a previous statement by the Asayish to North Press.
