Two boys, identified as 16-year-old Walid Khaled al-Sfouq and 13-year-old Mohammad Karim al-Dleim, were killed on January 25, 2024, by the explosion of a war remnant whose source we have not yet been able to identify in Otaya town in Rural Damascus ‘Rif Dimshaq’ 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 to safely dispose of the various explosive remnants.
