Two boys were injured on April 18, 2024, by the explosion of a war remnant of as yet unidentified source near their family’s house in Afis village in eastern rural Idlib governorate. The two boys were transferred to a hospital for treatment. The area is under the control of armed opposition factions and Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).
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.
