Abdul Rahman Hamadi, a 13-year-old child, was killed and four other children wounded on January 25, 2022, due to the explosion of a landmine from an unknown source in a factory for building materials near al Bab city in the eastern suburbs of Aleppo governorate. The area is under the control of the Syrian National Army.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses to obtain more details.
SNHR calls on the controlling forces to shoulder their responsibility for protecting civilians in areas under their control, to reveal the sites of planted landmines, and to remove them. We have documented hundreds of deaths and injuries resulting from landmine explosions, which will continue to constitute a real threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
