A boy, identified as 11-year-old Omar Mohammad al-Omari from Damascus suburbs governorate, was killed on July 21, 2023, by the explosion of a war remnant whose source we have not yet been able to identify near Nasib town in the eastern suburbs of Daraa governorate. The explosion also critically injured Omar’s brother Ammar al-Omari.
The area is under the control of Syrian regime forces. The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) notes that war remnants continue to pose a serious threat to civilians’ lives. We have released numerous reports on cluster munitions and war remnants, calling for securing equipment to help local residents dispose of the various explosive remnants.
