Two children, brothers Hasan and Yaser Karad, were killed and another child wounded on March 14, 2022, by the explosion of a landmine planted earlier by unknown parties in the area where the children were playing in Aleppo city’s al Sakhour neighborhood. The area is under the control of the Syrian regime forces.
SNHR is still trying to reach eyewitnesses for more details on the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to assume 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 and lethal threat to people, particularly children, for several years to come.
