A 15-year-old boy, identified as Majd Nuri al-Fares, was killed on December 14, 2023, by the explosion of a war remnant whose source we have not yet been able to identify in al-Mray’iya town in eastern Deir Ez-Zour governorate.
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 other war remnants, calling for securing equipment to help local residents safely dispose of the various explosive remnants.
