A man, identified as 21-year-old Nour al-Din Abdou Kousa, was injured on March 8, 2024. by the explosion of a landmine of as yet unidentified source while herding sheep near his home village of al-Zayyara in the subdistrict of Sherawa village in the rural areas of Afrin city in northern rural Aleppo governorate. He was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. The area is under the control of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
The Syrian Network for Human Rights (SNHR) is still trying to locate eyewitnesses to obtain more information about the incident.
We call on the controlling forces to uphold their responsibilities for protecting civilians in their areas, to investigate this incident, and to make the investigation’s findings known to the public. Syria will never have true stability without a genuine political transition process towards democracy within a fixed timetable.
